Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.

[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.

There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.

Wes Anderson's films, 6-year-olds are crazy about them.

I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves - to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They're testing boundaries, and I think that's healthy.

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

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

I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.

I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.

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

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

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

Music is like color or acting or whatever. It's really something I think about from the beginning. Not that I always know exactly what I'm going to use, but I don't see it as something like, Let's find some songs now! after we have a finished film.

I do think it's a very good way to describe what a great actor does. You're both acknowledging the authority of the director and the necessity of the actor to push back and find their own voice.

It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

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.

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It's always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments.

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.
