More quotes by Woody Allen

Image
I think that the tendency for most people is to fall back on a comic interpretation of things because things are so sad, so terrible. If you didn't laugh you'd kill yourself. But the truth of the matter is that existence in general is very very tragic, very very sad, very brutal and very unhappy.
Woody Allen
Image
It is impossible to travel faster than light, and certainly not desirable, as one’s hat keeps blowing off.
Woody Allen
Image
Then Job fell to his knees and cried to the Lord, Thine is the kingdom and the power and glory. Thou hast a good job. Don't blow it.
Woody Allen
Image
Some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all ... you know, they become lawyers.
Woody Allen
Image
My wife is immature. Whenever I take a bath, she sinks my boats.
Woody Allen
Image
People think I'm an artist because my films lose money.
Woody Allen

I prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
Woody Allen

I think if you have a comic perspective, almost anything that happens you tend to put through a comic filter. It's a way of coping in the short term, but has no long term effect and requires constant, endless renewal. Hence people talk of comics who are always on. It's like constantly drugging your sensibility so you can get by with less pain.

I don't like to meet the actor and have a lot of conferences and talk about their sub-life and their off-screen life and their back stories and all that nonsense, because it never means anything.
Woody Allen
Image
We live in far too permissive a society. Never before has pornography been this rampant. And those films are so badly lit!
Woody Allen
Image
Manute Bol is so skinny they save money on road trips. They just fax him from city to city.
Woody Allen
Image
Anything worth knowing cannot be understood by the human mind.
Woody Allen
Image
You can be distracted by your love life, by the baseball game, movies, by the nonsense. Can I get my kid into this private school? Can I get this girl to go out with me Saturday night? Am I going to get the promotion in my office? All this stuff, but in the end the universe burns out. So I think it's completely meaningless.
Woody Allen

If God exists, I hope he has a good excuse.
Woody Allen
Image
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.
Woody Allen
Image
It's a wonderful thing to be able to create your own world whenever you want to.
Woody Allen
Image
One filmmaker makes films that are deep, intellectual, profound and confrontational. And the other one makes purely vacuous, escapist films. I'm not sure the one who makes escapist films is making a poorer contribution than the one who makes the deeper films.
Woody Allen
Image
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

A stockbroker is someone who invests other people's money until it is all gone.

Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
