To me there’s no real difference between a fortune teller or a fortune cookie and any of the organized religions. They’re all equally valid or invalid, really. And equally helpful.

I always thought that as long as man is mortal, he will never be relaxed.
Woody Allen
Image
A deranged person is supposed to have the strength of ten men. I have the strength of one small boy... with polio.
Woody Allen
Image
The film studios learned to our dismay but to their pleasure that if they spent $200 million making a film they could make half a billion on it. So they were not interested anymore in quality films... They can't afford to be that risky at those prices. Consequently you're getting a lot of remakes, sequels, dopey comedies full of toilet jokes...
Woody Allen
Image
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.
Woody Allen
Image
I believe people ought to mate for life...like pigeons or Catholics.

I'm short enough and ugly enough to succeed on my own.
Woody Allen
Image
There's nothing like the discovery of an unknown work by a great thinker to set the intellectual community atwitter and cause academics to dart about like those things one sees when looking at a drop of water under a microscope.
Woody Allen
Image
For God sakes, this is a woman I was married to for 10 years. We made love. I'd hold her head over the toilet bowl when she threw up.
Woody Allen
Image
My films are misinterpreted all the time. I don't mind that. Everybody's films are misinterpreted. But there's no malice or stupidity in the people that misinterpret them. You know what you do, but someone else sees it, and they want to talk about it or write about it, and so they misinterpret them.
Woody Allen
Image
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen
Image
The content dictates the style all the time. That's the way it is. If the content of the film - as in Husbands and Wives - is highly jagged, neurotic, fast-paced, nervous New York film, it just called for that kind of shooting, editing and performance.
Woody Allen
Image
The difference between sex and death is, death you can do alone and nobody laughs at you.
Woody Allen
Image
I have no idea what I am doing but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.
Woody Allen
Image
A wife lasts only for the length of the marriage, but an ex-wife is there for the rest of your life.
Woody Allen
Image
If you're not failing, you're not trying anything.
Woody Allen
Image
My relationship with American audiences is the exact same as it always has been. They never came to see my films, and they don't come now.
Woody Allen
Image
What is it about death that bothers me? Probably the hours.

I failed to make the chess team because of my height.
