CHARLIE KAUFMAN, on his writing process

[@bennyjones1502]

"staring off into space or looking at stuff online while i'm trying to write, that's what it kinda looks like" brilliant

[@memento81]

yes, it means I am doing exactly the right things to become a great writer too

[@shenkaed]

[@sniperflashgaming3868]

😭😭😭fr

[@nikibronson133]

Read it??

[@shenkaed]

It's a screenplay.@@nikibronson133

[@bunchofrandomjunk]

​@@nikibronson133 Either he meant watching the movie or reading a copy of the script, Kaufman's movies are brilliant and inspirational

"I mean I like doing it... sometimes... and I can't think of anything I'd rather do..."

[@bloamy8498]

Such is life

[@Lobsterboy300]

“Staring off into space...” that’s what i find myself doing while reading his novel “Antkind”. It’s so well written, i feel like I’m inside of Charlie’s head when i read it. Go read the preview online. You’ll love it.

[@hvitekristesdod]

I do love it!!!

[@hvitekristesdod]

There’s some bits where I have to look away, laugh for several seconds and then say ‘oh Charlie what have you done you magnificent lunatic’

[@xandrafuhrer]

The smartest people in the world are often the most humble.

[@mauriciomurga20]

And the more shy

[@StudioSerious1]

Not necessarily.

[@xandrafuhrer]

@@StudioSerious1 okay

[@roadofpolymathy]

And the dumbest people in the world are often the most arrogant.

[@lampad4549]

He's not exactly humble.

[@justdrewit2498]

He just like me fr

[@ismaelcedeno8090]

i’m watching this daily

[@Tyler12905]

[@passdasalt]

The antithesis of the Dunning Kruger effect.

[@tammybrian676]

Adaptation and syndochee new york

[@jhjhjhjhjhjhify]

I mean... yeah, that's pretty much what writing a script's like. Don't forget the endless going back on it and rewriting/editing... and still not being happy.

[@silas1414]

I don’t have any bloody use for it

[@daniel_dumile]

I like Charlie but that beard is awful, he really is his characters
