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

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.

Image
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.

When I meet certain filmmakers, sometimes you sit down and you do have some kind of shorthand. It can be fun to see them as someone who has been through similar experiences, but also as someone who just loves film. You can talk with them about films in a way that feels really free.

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.'
Noah Baumbach
Image
I try to write 'and it's all very funny' after each scene description so that the reader can imagine the movie in their head.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.
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.

Image
I think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it's your friend.
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.
