Yahoo Serious quote: "Getting your screenplay right is the most important thing..."
Getting your screenplay right is the most important thing you'll ever do on your film. Yahoo Serious
But the longer I'm in the business, you see a lot of times these screenplays have been rewritten 5 times and you're not really offending an author. Edward Burns

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. Charlie Kaufman
The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it. I don't know where the characters are going to go, I don't know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that's the way to keep it alive. Charlie Kaufman
I think of myself as a guy who tries to write screenplays and now has tried to direct one. Anything more than that is meaningless and it gets in the way of being a real human being. Charlie Kaufman
Charlie Kaufman quote: "I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part..."
I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays. Charlie Kaufman
I do have some theatrical background. I've written plays and seen plays and read plays. But I also read novels. One thing I don't read is screenplays. Charlie Kaufman
Charlie Kaufman quote: "I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure..."
I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure than most people who write screenplays, because I think about it. Charlie Kaufman
