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.

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

Noah Baumbach
Image
I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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
That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
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.

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.
