Charlie Kaufman Quotes

If you ever got me, you wouldn’t have a clue what to do with me Picture Quote #1

The way I work is not the way that you work, and the whole point of any creative act is that. What I have to offer is me, what you have to offer is you, and if you offer yourself with authenticity and generosity I will be moved Picture Quote #1

Do not simplify. Do not worry about failure. Failure is a badge of honour. It means you risked failure Picture Quote #1

Seriously, I don’t consider myself a writer. I don’t think I have writing talent. But I will continue to do it Picture Quote #1

I will be dying and so will you, and so will everyone here. That’s what I want to explore. We’re all hurtling towards death, yet here we are for the moment, alive. Each of us knowing we’re going to die, each of us secretly believing we won’t Picture Quote #1

Failure is a badge of honor. It means you risked failure. And if you don’t risk failure, you’re never going to do anything that’s different from what you’ve already done or what somebody else has done Picture Quote #1

The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I’m interested in and then I decide I’m going to explore it. I don’t know where the characters are going to go, I don’t know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that’s the way to keep it alive Picture Quote #1

The sad thing about working on a movie is that you can never see the movie Picture Quote #1

I can never watch anything I’ve been involved in, because I know it, and I know what the making of it was like, and I know what’s been cut out and changed. I just know it Picture Quote #1

The difference between a movie and a play is that the production you end up with is the production. If a movie that I spent time on turns out to be crap, it’s never going to be made again Picture Quote #1

The passionate ones, the ones who go after what they want, may not get what they want, but they remain vital, in touch with themselves, and when they lie on their deathbeds, they have few regrets Picture Quote #1

I choose to write characters from the inside because I feel like that’s the way I’m gonna get the most honest version of them Picture Quote #1

I think that people create the world that they live in. Your existence is very subjective, and you tell stories and organize the world outside of you into these stories to help you understand it Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the world objectively exists the way we think it exists. There’s a constant sort of storytelling process Picture Quote #1

I think directing and writing are very different jobs. Obviously, directing is a more social and managerial job. The other thing about directing is that it’s a very, very pragmatic job, and writing isn’t Picture Quote #1

When you approach middle age, lots of stuff happens. Your body is aging, you’re watching people around you get sick, you’re watching people die, your mortality becomes very present at that point in your life Picture Quote #1

It’s good when someone comes to a book or a movie and interacts with it. It’s the difference between an illustration and a painting. An illustration serves a specific purpose, and a painting is something you can immerse yourself in Picture Quote #1

There are things that aren’t represented in movies that are a big part of everyone’s life. This is a movie about health and about the body Picture Quote #1

You’re dealing with the body, and you’re dealing with bodily functions. We romanticize everything about people in movies Picture Quote #1
