Charlie Kaufman Screen Quotations

I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.

I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process.

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

There's this inherent screenplay structure that everyone seems to be stuck on, this three-act thing. It doesn't really interest me. To me, it's kind of like saying, 'Well, when you do a painting, you always need to have sky here, the person here and the ground here.' Well, you don't.
