I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.
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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.
Noah Baumbach
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.

I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.
Noah Baumbach
Image
When I make a movie, I have both a specific and vague, amorphous dream idea of what the movie is going to be. Of course, I don't actually know what it's going to be, but I'm still striving to get to some place with it.

Dance is a profession with an expiration date for many people.

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.

Image
I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I suppose some studio executive would say it's death for a comedy if people aren't all laughing in the same places, but I find with my movies that people laugh in very different places. I can't control it.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it's your friend.
Noah Baumbach
Image
It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.
