More quotes by Woody Allen
I said this to my daughter, if you don't practice the guitar, when you get older you wouldn't be able to play it. It's that simple. If you want to play the guitar, you put a half hour in everyday, but you have to do it.
Woody Allen
Jazz is a big thing with me. It's a very big passion of mine, to play it. I'm an amateur musician and I love everything about it. I was obsessed with jazz when I was 15 years old and I know a lot about it because I've loved it so much.
Woody Allen
It's all through the actors I cannot write in that idiom
Woody Allen
You can't anticipate in the room the riches of what you encounter when you're location hunting for a movie.

Woody Allen
That’s one of the nice things about writing, or any art if the thing’s real, it just lives.

Woody Allen

Life is short. Short, and not about anything except what you can touch and what touches you.
Woody Allen
The universe is merely a fleeting idea in God's mind -- a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you've just made a down payment on a house.
Woody Allen
The whole thrust of science and the medical profession is to try and prevent it from happening, to try to prolong life, to keep you from dying, to keep you from getting older, to rejuvenate you. I mean, that's everybody's wish. The fountain of youth is everybody's sought-after thing.
Woody Allen
Should I marry W.? Not if she won't tell me the other letters in her name.
Woody Allen
I don't like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings.
Woody Allen
I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
Woody Allen
It's very hard to keep your spirits up. You've got to keep selling yourself a bill of goods, and some people are better at lying to themselves than others. If you face reality too much, it kills you.... you've got to find an answer to the question: Why go on?
Woody Allen
I like filming in New York a lot myself, but London is accommodating to me the weather's very good there and the conditions for shooting and the financial conditions, the artistic conditions are good, so it's a pleasant place to shoot.
Woody Allen
My parents stayed together for forty years. But that was out of spite.
Woody Allen
To you I'm an atheist to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.
Woody Allen
I love the rain - it washes memories off the sidewalk of life.
Woody Allen
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer. Not to love is to suffer.
Woody Allen
