That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.
Noah Baumbach
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.

Image
[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.

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

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.
