Sometimes the critics will like a film, and the public doesn't come. Sometimes the critics won't like the film, and the public will come. It's completely spontaneous. It's a hazard.
Woody Allen

My relationship with death remains the same - I'm strongly against it.
Woody Allen
Image
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.

Enthusiasm is a good engine, but it needs intelligence for a driver.

A stockbroker is someone who invests other people's money until it is all gone.
