Noah Baumbach

Born: September 3, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA

[re Woody Allen] I think my parents had “Getting Even”, which was one of his collections, and when I read it I couldn’t believe it. I thought they were the funniest things that I had ever read, but also felt–this is the thing they say about great poetry or something–it’s like your own thoughts brought back to you with added majesty. It was like my own funny ideas brought back, and he just seemed so smart and funny, and I just felt so connected to it from that point forward.
