I've kind of come to the conclusion that what passes for realism in movies has nothing to do with reality and that my stuff is more realistic than that.

In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.

I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.

I'm interested in trying to explore what I think is the truth at a given time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie. You're sitting here watching a movie. And I like that. It appeals to me intellectually, and also in a way I can't even explain.

I think that people have expectations of themselves and other people that are based on these fictions that are presented to them as the way human life and relationships could be, in some sort of weird, ideal world, but they never are. So you're constantly being shown this garbage and you can't get there.

There's no way to approach anything in an objective way. We're completely subjective; our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world.

I like titles that are a little difficult, because it's kind of counterintuitive.

Charlie Kaufman 152 quotes

I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves.

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

I don't write genre stuff in any form. I'm not interested in it. I always try to do the opposite of that.

I think generally I'm kind of interested in subjective experience, what goes on inside someone's head, that being all they really know of the world.

I think if I've worked anything through with screenwriting it's that I'm not going to be able to work anything through.
