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

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

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

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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
When I make a movie, I have both a specific and vague, amorphous dream idea of what the movie is going to be. Of course, I don't actually know what it's going to be, but I'm still striving to get to some place with it.

Image
I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.
Noah Baumbach
Image
[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.
Noah Baumbach
Image
I think sometimes bad behaviour can be liberating for certain people. They need to behave badly to find themselves - to go off path to find their path. You see it with kids all the time: They're testing boundaries, and I think that's healthy.
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.

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