Quote

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.

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.

I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.

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.

I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.

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.

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 read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

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.
