“I’ve spent five years on this. You should spend an hour on it. You know, spend two hours on it. That would be the decent, respectful thing to do, as opposed to writing a snarky five-minute thing that’s making fun of me, or saying what other people have said. This is a thoughtful thing. A lot of people put a lot of work into this thing, sincerely. It’s not like Garfield, you know what I mean? No one’s trying to get rich. People have sincerely put their hearts into this thing. Respect that. Don’t like it if you don’t like it, but be thoughtful.”
— Charlie Kaufman on critics and criticism.
