If you're born with a gift, to behave like it's an achievement is not right.
Woody Allen
Image
Sentence structure is innate, but whining is acquired.
Woody Allen
Image
Our love, our love will last forever. It's forever but it just doesn't work. That's why it will always be romantic because it can not be complete.
Woody Allen
Image
There are three rings involved with marriage. The engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.
Woody Allen
Image
You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.
Woody Allen
Image
American films, it's a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art.
Woody Allen
Image
In the shower, with the hot water coming down, you've left the real world behind, and very frequently things open up for you. It's the change of venue, the unblocking the attempt to force the ideas that's crippling you when you're trying to write.
Woody Allen

I'd always wanted to be a dramatic. Comedy comes more naturally to me. I can do it with more facility. So I feel more comfortable with it.
Woody Allen
Image
To be a film director is not a democracy, it's really a tyranny. You're the head of the project, for better rather than worse. I write the film and I direct the film, I decide who's going to be in it, I decide on the editing, I put in the music from my own record collection.

I'm very proud of my gold pocket watch. My grandfather, on his deathbed, sold me this watch.
Woody Allen
Image
Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.
Woody Allen
Image
No Matter what you do there will be critics.
Woody Allen
Image
There will be no major solution to the suffering of humanity until we reach some understanding of who we are, what the purpose of creation was, what happens after death. Until those questions are resolved we are caught.
Woody Allen
Image
I'm so excited-I think today I'm going to brush all my teeth.
Woody Allen
Image
See, I will always have this penchant for what I call kamikaze women. I call them kamikazes because they, you know they crash their plane, they're self-destructive. But they crash into you, and you die along with them.
Woody Allen

How wrong Emily Dickinson was! Hope is not the thing with feathers. The thing with feathers has turned out to be my nephew. I must take him to a specialist in Zurich.
Woody Allen

If 90% of success in life is showing up, the other 10% depends on what you're showing up for.

That (sex) was the most fun I ever had without laughing.
Woody Allen
Image
The difference between sex and death is, death you can do alone and nobody laughs at you.

It's just gossip, you know. Gossip is the new pornography.
