I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Noah Baumbach
Wes Anderson grew up in Houston, and he and I talk about Manhattan in similar ways, as a kind of fantasy world.
Noah Baumbach
It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials
Noah Baumbach
How you start the movie is critical. And how often you feel that there's no reason for how it's starting.
Noah Baumbach
It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
