I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.

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

It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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
Image
I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
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.
