More quotes by 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
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 do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
Noah Baumbach
I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
Noah Baumbach
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
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
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
I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.
Noah Baumbach
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
I think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves - to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They're testing boundaries, and I think that's healthy.
Noah Baumbach
It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.
Noah Baumbach
I really like my first movie a lot, Kicking and Screaming. I think it's a - I'm very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn't the - it wasn't Citizen Kane right out of the box, you know? It wasn't Sex, Lies and Videotape.
Noah Baumbach
Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.
Noah Baumbach
I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
When I was a kid, I would fantasize about my own funeral.
Noah Baumbach
I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
Noah Baumbach
I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
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.
Noah Baumbach
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
