More quotes by Noah Baumbach
It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials
Noah Baumbach
It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.
Noah Baumbach
I used a video camera, and shot on film cameras at school and stuff, but I had a lot more training as a writer. I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.
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
How you start the movie is critical. And how often you feel that there's no reason for how it's starting.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
Noah Baumbach
Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.
Noah Baumbach
I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.
Noah Baumbach
I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.
Noah Baumbach
That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.
Noah Baumbach
[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.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
Noah Baumbach
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.'
