Quote

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.

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 think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.

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

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

Image
I do think it's a very good way to describe what a great actor does. You're both acknowledging the authority of the director and the necessity of the actor to push back and find their own voice.

I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.

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

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.
