"“I think it’s my responsibility to write about the things that interest me. I feel that I’d be doing a disservice to anybody and everybody to not do what I thought was good." This ties in to the GITS posts about walking away from the wrong gig, doesn't it? If you think about it, if you have the financial latitude to say no, why on earth would you commit to write a script (from a personal and artistic viewpoint) unless it interests you? It's nice to hear someone of Kaufman's stature say this.
