2:57 I've heard from people of all ages that they consider Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to be a cult classic of their generation. I'm wondering if you as one of the creators of the film knew that it would eventually become a cult classic? And what does the term "cult classic" even mean to you? 10:53 You talked about the state of Hollywood, where there's an interesting "migration" going on in terms of lots of movie directors transitioning to TV shows. So while big movie studios focus on producing blockbuster movies, super hero movies, fantasy, etc., people like Soderbergh and Lynch leave to do TV shows. Do you find this trend interesting? 13:04 Do you feel yourself being involved in the Jewish comedic tradition? Because you're known to admire Woody Allen, and there's a trope about how lead characters in Jewish comedies need to overcome obstacles which arise from their internal struggles, or neurosis, which I feel is a common theme in some of your movies. 22:15 Script writing is thought of as somewhat of a lonely job. Do you have any script writing rituals? Do you believe in forcing yourself to write something every day, or do you wait for a sudden hit of inspiration? Do you scrap a lot of what you write?
7:20 Ouch, that's a painfully embarrassing question. How did she not realize all of the secondary characters had the same voice? That was the whole concept of the dang film.
