If it turns out that there is a God...the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.
Woody Allen
Image
My relationship with American audiences is the exact same as it always has been. They never came to see my films, and they don't come now.

Humorists always sit at the children's table.

American films, it's a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art.
Woody Allen
Image
In real life I'm not the character I play in my films. I'm reasonably competent, I work very hard, I'm disciplined, I lead a very middle class life. I work in the mornings, I have lunch, I practise my clarinet, I go to the movies, I eat out in restaurants or watch ball games on television or at the ball games.

When the Academy called, I panicked. I thought they might want their Oscars back and the pawn shop has been out of business for a while.

When I started out, I was a television writer, and we wrote a television show that was on live every week. And you didn't have the luxury of coming in and waiting to be inspired. You came in and you had to write. And you wrote, because it was going to be live on the air. So I can do that.

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
Image
If I can play a scene in a master shot, I always prefer it. And the actors always prefer it. It's fun to look at on the screen, the actors get a chance to sink their teeth into something substantial, and it's economically helpful.
Woody Allen
Image
If the world is a progressively realized community of interpretation, then either quadruplictity will drink procrastination or, provided that the nothing negates, boredom will ensue seldom more often than frequently.
Woody Allen
Image
How does gravity work? And if it were to cease suddenly, would certain restaurants still require a jacket?
Woody Allen
Image
Heaven knows, we all make mistakes. That's life - and chess.
Woody Allen

Man was made in God`s image. Do you really think God has red hair and glasses?

In 1940 I was just turning 5 years old and being taken to the movies. For those of us who were not old enough to understand the horror of war it was a very romantic era because these guys were kissing their wives and girlfriends goodbye and going off to fight and become heroes.

I never ever see a film of mine after I release it to the public. I see it when I shoot it in my dailies and while I'm editing it, re-editing it and reshooting it and all that. By the time it's finished I never want to see it again.

There are three rings involved with marriage. The engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.
Woody Allen
Image
Paris is particularly beautiful in the rain. It was just a nice experience for me, a pleasant experience, and I was able to present it to the world through my eyes, very subjectively - not realistically, but subjectively.
Woody Allen
Image
I am not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Woody Allen

You always think another time would have been ideal for you . . . the reality is there was no novocaine when you went to the dentist.

Life is hard for insects. And don't think mice are having any fun either.
