More quotes by Noah Baumbach
It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
Noah Baumbach
Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
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
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
I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.
Noah Baumbach
Wes Anderson grew up in Houston, and he and I talk about Manhattan in similar ways, as a kind of fantasy world.
Noah Baumbach
Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.
Noah Baumbach
I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
[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
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
I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.
Noah Baumbach
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
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
When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.
Noah Baumbach
When I was a kid, I would fantasize about my own funeral.
Noah Baumbach
Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.
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 love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
