More quotes by Noah Baumbach
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
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.
Noah Baumbach
Dance is a profession with an expiration date for many people.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I'm interested in music as an extension of character.
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 used a video camera, and shot on film cameras at school and stuff, but I had a lot more training as a writer. I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
Noah Baumbach
I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league.
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
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 kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
Noah Baumbach
How you start the movie is critical. And how often you feel that there's no reason for how it's starting.
Noah Baumbach
I do think it's a very good way to describe what a great actor does. You're both acknowledging the authority of the director and the necessity of the actor to push back and find their own voice.
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 love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
Noah Baumbach
I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.
Noah Baumbach
I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.
Noah Baumbach
I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.
Noah Baumbach
I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
Noah Baumbach
Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.
