Right now it's only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea.

Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.

Doing abominations is against the law, particularly if the abominations are done while wearing a lobster bib.
Woody Allen
Image
I can do a limited amount of things and that's what I do and I feel comfortable doing it and I have no particular desire to do anything else as an actor.
Woody Allen

Is there a separation between body and mind, and if so which is it better to have?
Woody Allen
