More From Charlie Kaufman

I think i've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays. it's more that i wanted to see what it would be like if i didn't have to collaborate with anybody, to have a sense of purity of the thing from beginning to end. i liked doing it. it's really different from writing. directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.
Writing Thinking People
I'm not a big dreamer. i never have been.the only thing i've sort of obviously extracted from the research of dreams is that i don't think there's a specific science you can put on dream psychology. i think that it's up to, obviously, the individual. obviously, we suppress things, emotions, things during the day - thoughts that we obviously haven't thought through enough, and in that state of sleep when our subconscious or mind just sort of randomly fires off different surreal story structures, and when we wake up we should pay attention to these things.
Dream Sleep Thinking
For example, the supporters of tariffs treat it as self-evident that the creation of jobs is a desirable end, in and of itself, regardless of what the persons employed do. that is clearly wrong. if all we want are jobs, we can create any number--for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. work is sometimes its own reward. mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs--jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume.
Jobs Real Mean
For me taking a pragmatic decision when it comes to art is almost an oxymoron. the reason i first picked up a pen and wrote a story had nothing pragmatic in it.
Art Decision Stories
I would consider directing. i think directing myself would be tough, but i'm definitely interested in directing. i might start off directing a play before i move to a film.
Moving Thinking Play
Any good job is a good job. this whole concept of a dead-end job? it's not true. i've heard it my whole life. jobs lead to dignity. if you're good at the first, then you can get the second. jobs lead to household formation. jobs are a better solution for society.
Dignity Good Job Whole Life
