Find most favourite and famour Authors from A.A Milne to Zoe Kravitz.
I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I try to procrastinate, if I can, productively, like I'll work on something else as procrastination. Or I take a walk. Because often I find, if you get out, more things come to you.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
A lot of black-and-white films generally have a color version that will be used for TV.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
It's going to start really interfering with your quality of life, your health, if you don't adjust to life as it's happening to you.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I've had great experiences or joyful experiences making a movie that people found very disturbing.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
A film set becomes its own family anyway, and all family dynamics come out during a shoot. The trick is hiring people who know how to handle that.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I don't know any writer of fiction who enjoys trying to point out or dissect whatever they produced with strangers and let them go through it and pick apart what's real and what isn't.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I know people who are incredibly successful who still dress the way they did when they were 18, just because they still think that's how they look good.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I've run into more people walking in L.A. than if I drove. Because you stand out so much if you walk. People from my past have stopped their cars and said, 'Hey!' But if I was in a car, they never would've seen me.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I really like my first movie a lot, 'Kicking and Screaming.' I think it's a - I'm very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn't the - it wasn't 'Citizen Kane' right out of the box, you know? It wasn't 'Sex, Lies and Videotape.'
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
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.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I think if we taped a lot of families that claim to be relatively normal, you'd be surprised when you hear some of the things said.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
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.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
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.'
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
Adaptations are fun for me because they connect to the idea of filmmaking I had when I was a kid. I would see a movie and think: 'I'm gonna make that movie.'
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
When you're around your family, and you have that history and that shared language, you say things you'd be embarrassed to hear quoted back to you later.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
Even fairly serious moviegoers can't shake this shadow of the corporate world.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I wouldn't say 'Frances Ha' is autobiographical, but it's definitely very personal.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
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.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
There is an isolated experience to being a director. It's very communal because there's a crew, but it's only you. You're the one on the hook.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
That's the nice thing about collaborating with someone: Your work becomes a conversation.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
You can be aware that something is idiosyncratic, and give it to a character, but keep doing it.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
My dad was a great movie companion. He wouldn't diminish 'The Jerk.' If I liked it, he liked it. He could see it through my eyes.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
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.
Quote by -Noah Baumbach
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.
