More quotes by Noah Baumbach

That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.

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.

Noah Baumbach
I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

Noah Baumbach

Noah Baumbach
Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.
Noah Baumbach

Noah Baumbach
When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.
Noah Baumbach
I get a lot of responses to my movies. Some people say, 'Oh, I thought it was really funny - I hope that's okay!' And my answer always is 'Yes. It's totally okay.'
Noah Baumbach
I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.
Noah Baumbach
I guess I probably took New York for granted. Growing up, playing in the street, going down to the Avenue to the record store and to the grocery store and stuff like that.
