More quotes by Charlie Kaufman
- 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.
- If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond, you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond.
