I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
Woody Allen
Image
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead - not sick, not wounded - dead.

I do occasionally envy the person who is religious naturally, without being brainwashed into it or suckered into it by all the organized hustles.

You can't anticipate in the room the riches of what you encounter when you're location hunting for a movie.
Woody Allen
Image
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.

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
Life is full of moments that are good - winning a lottery, seeing a beautiful woman, a great dinner - but the whole thing is tragic. It's an oasis that is very pleasant.
Woody Allen
Image
Everything in life turns out to be a distraction from the real thing you want to do. There are a million distractions and when I was a kid I was very disciplined. I knew that the other kids weren't. I was the one able to do the thing, not because I had more talent, maybe less, but because they simply weren't applying themselves.
Woody Allen
Image
Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
Image
Maybe the poets are right. Maybe love is the only answer.
Woody Allen
Image
The prettiest women are almost always the most boring, and that is why some people feel there is no God.
Woody Allen
Image
See, I never gain an ounce, because, you know, my anxiety acts like aerobics.
Woody Allen
Image
A man that has never lied to a woman has no respect for her feelings.
Woody Allen
Image
[...] I've come to the conclusion that the artist can not justify life or come up with a cogent reason as to why life is meaningful, but the artist can provide you with a cold glass of water on a hot day.

If there is reincarnation, I'd like to come back as Warren Beatty's fingertips.
