More quotes by Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
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
It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials
Noah Baumbach

Noah Baumbach
I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.
Noah Baumbach
I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
Noah Baumbach
I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.
Noah Baumbach
It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.
Noah Baumbach
[Shwing] the really naked stuff I've dealt with in my own life, my own therapy and relationships - for me it just feels like a film I'm really proud of.
