Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.

I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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 think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it's your friend.
Noah Baumbach
Image
When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

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.

I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.
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 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 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
Image
I'm interested in music as an extension of character.
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.

Image
[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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
Noah Baumbach
Image
Wes Anderson grew up in Houston, and he and I talk about Manhattan in similar ways, as a kind of fantasy world.
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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.
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.
