Charlie Kaufman

So when I write characters and situations and relationships, I try to sort of utilize what I know about the world, limited as it is, and what I hear from my friends and see with my relatives. ↗

The only honest and generous thing for me to do is to give people myself. That's all I've got as an artist, so I want to do that in an unflinching way. ↗

You are what you love. Not what loves you. ↗

I do have, at different times, a certain kind of self-consciousness in the world, an insecurity. ↗

I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun. ↗

I don't subscribe to anything. I sit there and I try to think about what seems honest to me. ↗
