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.

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

Dance is a profession with an expiration date for many people.

I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

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.

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
Image
I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.

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

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.

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 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.

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.'
