I'm not working on anything. I was trying to write something new . . . I guess the goal for me now, at least at this point, is to try to direct again.

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.

I do have, at different times, a certain kind of self-consciousness in the world, an insecurity.
Charlie Kaufman
Image
I tend to not only read reviews, but also every little stupid thing online. It's a very bad idea, and there's a lot of angry people in the world. And it's weird to absorb all that weirdness.
Charlie Kaufman

Yeah, once we decided to use that replacement animation, and the seams are a function of that animation, and other movies paint those out, we decided we wanted to keep the presence of the animation and the type of animation that it was rather than make it look polished. It created a kind of vulnerability, I think.

You and I share the same DNA. Is there anything more lonely than that?
Charlie Kaufman

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'm Jewish, and my family is Jewish. I was very interested in Woody Allen when I was growing up, but I don't think of myself as a Jewish writer. I'm more from suburbia, American suburbia. I'm more from the '70s than I am from Judaism.
