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

Music is like color or acting or whatever. It's really something I think about from the beginning. Not that I always know exactly what I'm going to use, but I don't see it as something like, Let's find some songs now! after we have a finished film.

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.

How you start the movie is critical. And how often you feel that there's no reason for how it's starting.

I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
Noah Baumbach

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.

Defining yourself by your taste is easier than defining yourself by any genuine stance on something.

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It's always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments.
