I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

Image
I like to try to keep things as relaxed and easy as possible. I mean, movies generally attract a lot of people who like to cause fires, so they can later try to put them out. But I don't like that kind of thing.

I think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it's your friend.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I try to write 'and it's all very funny' after each scene description so that the reader can imagine the movie in their head.

I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.

There was a telemarketing job one summer in high school that I was rejected for. I still walk by the building that I actually had the interview in. It's still in New York, and I always think about that job and why I didn't get it.

Nothing that I've turned down do I feel like I should have done. Because I've generated everything I've done, I've never really considered doing something that I haven't originated myself. There are definitely things that I've been brought that someone else made good movies out of. But it's not a path I've followed, so I don't have regret.

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It's always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments.

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.

Image
I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.

There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.

Music is like color or acting or whatever. It's really something I think about from the beginning. Not that I always know exactly what I'm going to use, but I don't see it as something like, Let's find some songs now! after we have a finished film.

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

I think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves - to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They're testing boundaries, and I think that's healthy.

When I meet certain filmmakers, sometimes you sit down and you do have some kind of shorthand. It can be fun to see them as someone who has been through similar experiences, but also as someone who just loves film. You can talk with them about films in a way that feels really free.

I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.

When I was a kid, I would fantasize about my own funeral.

I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
