I don't like to meet the actor and have a lot of conferences and talk about their sub-life and their off-screen life and their back stories and all that nonsense, because it never means anything.

My success has allowed me to strike out with a higher class of women.

There's no correlation between what the public likes and what I'm after. I'm in a different world.

I keep wondering if there is an afterlife, and if there is will they be able to break a twenty?

I never considered myself an artist. I aspire to be an artist, but I never thought I had the depth or substance or gift to be an artist. I do think I have some talent, but it doesn't go as far as being an artist.

How does gravity work? And if it were to cease suddenly, would certain restaurants still require a jacket?
Woody Allen
Image
I do feel it's important to have some kind of faith in something, but [it is] impossible for many of us. I personally don't have any faith in anything, but it's great if you can.
Woody Allen

The artist can't give you an answer that's satisfying to the dreadful reality of your existence. So the best you can do is maybe entertain people and refresh them for an hour-and-a-half.
Woody Allen

Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but I don't want you spreading that around.

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.

Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought-particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things.

I've always believed that thoughtful people don't really take the tabloids seriously. They're basically a form of entertainment. I enjoy them as much as the next New Yorker.

What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream?
