People will say things after a screening that it affects them in a certain way, which is why I don't like to explain what certain things are about. I want them to have that. It limits people's ability to understand something if I say it's "about this." That's happened to us a bunch on this.
Charlie KaufmanI do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.

Charlie KaufmanDo not simplify. Do not worry about failure. Failure is a badge of honour. It means you risked failure.
