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

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

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.

Dance is a profession with an expiration date for many people.

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

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

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.
