Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.

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

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

Image
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.'

I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.
Noah Baumbach
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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.
Noah Baumbach
Image
Nothing that I've turned down do I feel like I should have done. Because I've generated everything I've done, I've never really considered doing something that I haven't originated myself. There are definitely things that I've been brought that someone else made good movies out of. But it's not a path I've followed, so I don't have regret.

I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.
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.

Image
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.

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
