More quotes by Noah Baumbach
I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.
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
It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.
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 think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it's your friend.
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 do think it's a very good way to describe what a great actor does. You're both acknowledging the authority of the director and the necessity of the actor to push back and find their own voice.
Noah Baumbach
I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
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
It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.
Noah Baumbach
Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.
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 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 kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
Noah Baumbach
I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.
Noah Baumbach
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
I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Noah Baumbach
I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.
Noah Baumbach
I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.
