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.

The heart wants what it wants.

Woody Allen

You can't ride two horses with one behind.
Woody Allen

Hey listen -- I've proved a lot of things. That's how I pay my rent. Theories and little observations. A puckish remark now and then. Occasional maxims. It beats picking olives, but let's not get carried away.

Image
My father worked for the same firm for 12 years. They fired him and replaced him with a tiny gadget that does everything my father does, only much better. The depressing thing is my mother ran out and bought one

You know how you're always trying to get things to come out perfect in art because it's real difficult in life
Woody Allen

Marriage is like mushrooms: we notice too late if they are good or bad.
Woody Allen
Image
You know what my philosophy of life is? That it’s important to have some laughs, but you got to suffer a little too, because otherwise you miss the whole point to life.
Woody Allen
Image
My gift was in comedy. I found out I could make jokes. I could tell jokes. I could write them. So over the years, that's what I've done.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.
