I have a great admiration for English actors and actresses and have used them at every opportunity over the years, but now I won't have to import them to New York.
Woody Allen
Image
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Woody Allen
Image
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer. Not to love is to suffer.
Woody Allen
Image
There's no correlation between what the public likes and what I'm after. I'm in a different world.
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.

Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing.

I can't with any conscience argue for New York with anyone. It's like Calcutta. But I love the city in an emotional, irrational way, like loving your mother or your father even though they're a drunk or a thief. I've loved the city my whole life - to me, it's like a great woman.

Have you ever taken a serious political stand on anything? Yeah. Sure. For twenty-four hours once I refused to eat grapes.
Woody Allen
Image
I don't own a computer. I've never seen anything online at all - nothing. I don't own a word processor. I have none of that stuff. It's not an act of rebellion. I'm just not a gadget person.
Woody Allen
Image
When you work from city to city or country to country, you work the same way the working method is the same.
Woody Allen
Image
I see no advantages in aging whatsoever. You become shriveled. You become decrepit. You lose your faculties. Your peer group passes away. You sit in a room gumming your porridge. I don't see any advantage in this whatsoever.
Woody Allen
Image
Paris is particularly beautiful in the rain. It was just a nice experience for me, a pleasant experience, and I was able to present it to the world through my eyes, very subjectively - not realistically, but subjectively.
Woody Allen
Image
If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.
Woody Allen
Image
I myself don't like to speak to the actors at all. I like to hire great people and let them do their thing. I don't like to speak to them. I don't like to have lunch with them. I don't like to socialize with them. I don't like to hear their ideas.

I don't think my parents liked me. They put a live teddy bear in my crib.

Jazz is a big thing with me. It's a very big passion of mine, to play it. I'm an amateur musician and I love everything about it. I was obsessed with jazz when I was 15 years old and I know a lot about it because I've loved it so much.

We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
Woody Allen
Image
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead - not sick, not wounded - dead.

My luck is getting worse and worse. Last night, for instance, I was mugged by a quaker.
Woody Allen

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.
