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.

Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.
Noah Baumbach
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.
