For some reason I've always had an irrational love for New York. There's no reason that you would necessarily like it on paper. It's very expensive.
Woody Allen
Image
Please forgive me. My pedicurist had a stroke. She fell forward onto the orange stick and plunged it into my toe. It required bandaging.
Woody Allen
Image
I think I've gotten technically better over the years but you'd have to be a fool not to. I've made so many movies that by sheer quantity you get better at the technique.
Woody Allen
Image
If 90% of success in life is showing up, the other 10% depends on what you're showing up for.
Woody Allen

When I naturally write a story and I feel that the guy is sitting across the table from the girl and flirting with her... I think, 'God, that can't be me' because I'm just too old for that part. You need a 30-year-old or a 35-year-old for that part. And so I've given myself less and less roles.

Paranoia is knowing all the facts.
Woody Allen
Image
In a relationship, it is better to be the leaver than the leavee.
Woody Allen
Image
As a boy, I was ashamed to wear glasses. I memorized the eye chart, and then on the test they asked essay questions.
Woody Allen
Image
What a world. It could be so wonderful if it wasn't for certain people.
Woody Allen
Image
If man were immortal, do you realize what his meat bills would be?
Woody Allen
Image
I think universal harmony is a pipedream and it may be more productive to focus on more modest goals, like a ban on yodeling.
Woody Allen
Image
My wife is immature. Whenever I take a bath, she sinks my boats.
Woody Allen
Image
Between the Pope and air conditioning, I'd choose air conditioning.
Woody Allen
Image
I'm awash in self-contempt!
Woody Allen
Image
I've had a very productive life. I've worked very hard, I've never fallen prey to depression. I'm not sure I could have done all of that without being in psychoanalysis.
Woody Allen
Image
My parents stayed together for forty years. But that was out of spite.
