[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.

More quotes by Noah Baumbach

I like to try to keep things as relaxed and easy as possible. I mean, movies generally attract a lot of people who like to cause fires, so they can later try to put them out. But I don't like that kind of thing.

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've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.

I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

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.

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.

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

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.

I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

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

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.

There was a telemarketing job one summer in high school that I was rejected for. I still walk by the building that I actually had the interview in. It's still in New York, and I always think about that job and why I didn't get it.

It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.

I do like having books on my shelves. I do value that life.

I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

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.

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.

Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.
