When one chooses to be a writer, psychologically there's a reason for that because you like the isolation and you like to be by yourself and you are by nature timid.
Woody Allen
Image
No, no, I'm a lowbrow. I read [Dostoevsky] more out of obligation than enjoyment. For enjoyment, for me, it's a beer and the football game.

I'm twelve years old. I run into a synagogue. I ask the rabbi the meaning of life. He tells me the meaning of life but he tells it to me in Hebrew. I don't understand Hebrew. Then he wants to charge me $600 for Hebrew lessons.

When we played softball, I'd steal second base, feel guilty and go back.
Woody Allen
Image
I do believe that reality is dreadful and that you are forced to choose it in the end or go crazy, but that it kills you.
Woody Allen
Image
The whole concept of awards is silly. I cannot abide by the judgment of other people, because if you accept it when they say you deserve an award, then you have to accept it when they say you don't.
Woody Allen
Image
We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
Woody Allen
Image
What do I dislike about death? Must be the hours.
Woody Allen

In the event of war, I'm a hostage.
Woody Allen
Image
Film is more of novelty, because I've done so much theater over many years. I'm in love with making movies. Also, I find it easier to remember three minutes of dialogue than three hours.
Woody Allen

None of the arts are any good unless you really are great at them.
Woody Allen
Image
Don't worry, I know almost exactly what I'm doing.

Nothing like a little post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete.
Woody Allen
Image
If you can delude yourself by believing that there is some kind of Santa Claus out there who is going to bail you out in the end, then it will help you get through. Even if you are proven wrong in the end, you would have had a better life than a non-believer.
