I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.

Wes Anderson grew up in Houston, and he and I talk about Manhattan in similar ways, as a kind of fantasy world.

I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.

Image
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.

Image
I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.
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.
Noah Baumbach
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 always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.

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

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

Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.

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.
