More quotes by Woody Allen
I cannot say for certain that God does not exist I think the worst thing that can be said about him is that he's a bit of an underachiever.
Woody Allen
Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
Woody Allen
When it comes to sex there are certain things that should always be left unknown, and with my luck, they probably will be.
Woody Allen
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
When you write the script, you're home in a room by yourself, and you're writing, and there's no connection with the real performing world. So you get a lot of things wrong and make a lot of mistakes and make a lot of bad choices.
Woody Allen
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
Woody Allen
As the author you know how you want it to appear on screen and it's always the content dictating the form.
Woody Allen
I like filming in New York a lot myself, but London is accommodating to me the weather's very good there and the conditions for shooting and the financial conditions, the artistic conditions are good, so it's a pleasant place to shoot.
Woody Allen
The universe is merely a fleeting idea in God's mind -- a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you've just made a down payment on a house.
Woody Allen
Maybe the poets are right. Maybe love is the only answer.
Woody Allen
Fantasy is seductive and much more wonderful than reality, but you can't take it to the bank. It's always an escape. And if used as an escape, as in attending a movie or a show for a circumscribed period of time, it's fine. When it starts to become undifferentiated from reality, it leads to big trouble.
Woody Allen
Eighty percent of success is showing up.
Woody Allen
Should I marry W.? Not if she won't tell me the other letters in her name.
Woody Allen
I can't minimize the terror factor. As you get older you get more and more frightened because the terrible indignities of old age become closer to you.
Woody Allen
I don't like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings.
Woody Allen
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Woody Allen
I loathed every day and regret every day I spent in school. I like to be taught to read and write and add and then be left alone.
Woody Allen
I think a relationship is like a shark. It has to constantly move forward or it dies.
Woody Allen
When I get up in the morning, I go and I work with beautiful women and charming men and funny comedians and dramatic artists. And I'm presented with costumes and great music to choose from and sets. I travel a certain amount of places, so I've been living in a bubble. And I like it.
Woody Allen
