Charlie Kaufman - Press Appearances

Press Appearances

Kaufman was interviewed on the Colbert Report on December 9, 2008, Charlie Rose, and also by Mark Kermode for The Culture Show on BBC2 on 24 March 2009. Michael Sragow asserted in a 2007 article on Salon.com that Kaufman "avoids talking personally". In 2009, David Poland said to Kaufman, "you've not really done a lot of press", to which Kaufman responded by saying "I've done a lot of press" and that he was annoyed by "mythology" created by entertainment media. Kaufman informed Poland that he had done interviews for all movies from Being John Malkovich onwards, yet interviewers had continued to say to him during interviews that he didn't do a lot of press.

Famous quotes containing the words press and/or appearances:

    If behind the erratic gunfire of the press the author felt that there was another kind of criticism, the opinion of people reading for the love of reading, slowly and unprofessionally, and judging with great sympathy and yet with great severity, might this not improve the quality of his work? And if by our means books were to become stronger, richer, and more varied, that would be an end worth reaching.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
