More quotes by Noah Baumbach
That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.
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 wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Noah Baumbach
It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
Noah Baumbach

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

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
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
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
I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
Noah Baumbach
Wes Anderson's films, 6-year-olds are crazy about them.
Noah Baumbach
I really like my first movie a lot, Kicking and Screaming. I think it's a - I'm very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn't the - it wasn't Citizen Kane right out of the box, you know? It wasn't Sex, Lies and Videotape.
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
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.
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
I try to write 'and it's all very funny' after each scene description so that the reader can imagine the movie in their head.
Noah Baumbach
I used a video camera, and shot on film cameras at school and stuff, but I had a lot more training as a writer. I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
