Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.

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 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.

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

I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.

I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league.

Image
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.'

Image
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.

I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.
