Kaufman, Charlie. "Screenwriters' Lecture: Charlie Kaufman." Screenwriters' Lecture Series. 30 Sept. 2011, British Film Institute, London, England, UK.

There was bad faith and good, honesty and dishonesty, courage and cowardice, selflessness and opportunism, wisdom and stupidity, good and bad on bath sides; and almost every individual involved, no matter where he stood, combined some or all of these antithetical qualities in his own person, in his own acts.... It will do no good to search for villains or heroes or saints or devils because there were none; there were only victims.
