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.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.
Noah Baumbach

How you start the movie is critical. And how often you feel that there's no reason for how it's starting.

Image
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.

I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

Image
I suppose some studio executive would say it's death for a comedy if people aren't all laughing in the same places, but I find with my movies that people laugh in very different places. I can't control it.

Image
I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

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

Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
