[Shwing] the really naked stuff I've dealt with in my own life, my own therapy and relationships - for me it just feels like a film I'm really proud of.

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

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.

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.'

I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

Image
I don't like when you necessarily know that this is the end of the movie. I like when a movie ends abruptly. You go through this, and some of the scenes are uncomfortable, and some are funny - and then suddenly it's over.

Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.
Noah Baumbach
Image
It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

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.

I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.

I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.

It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.

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.
