Trivia: When this film was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 75th Academy Awards, the fictitious Donald Kaufman was nominated. This was the first time an Academy Award nomination was given to a fictional character.

Charlie Kaufman: You and I share the same DNA. Is there anything more lonely than that?

Susan Orlean: Can I ask you a personal question?
John Laroche: Look, we're not lost.

Donald Kaufman: Anyway, listen, I meant to ask you, I need a cool way to kill people. Don't worry, for my script.
Charlie Kaufman: I don't write that kind of stuff.
Donald Kaufman: Oh, come on, man, please? You're the genius.
