I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
