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

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
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.

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

Noah Baumbach
Image
It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.

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.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.
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 don't like when you necessarily know that this is the end of the movie. I like when a movie ends abruptly. You go through this, and some of the scenes are uncomfortable, and some are funny - and then suddenly it's over.

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.
