Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.
Woody Allen

I never knew what Amazon was. I've never seen any of those series, even on cable. I've never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I'm out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there's Charlie Rose and I go to sleep.

Nothing like a little post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete.
Woody Allen
Image
I write the script nobody sees it, not the people that put the money in the picture. I cast who I want, and make the film. That's why I've always felt the only thing standing between me and greatness, is me. There's no excuse for me not to be great except that I'm not.

I hate the beach. I hate the sun. I'm pale and I'm redheaded. I don't tan - I stroke!
