I think I've gotten technically better over the years but you'd have to be a fool not to. I've made so many movies that by sheer quantity you get better at the technique.
Woody Allen
Image
I never have an alter ego in the movies. That's a fiction that the press has made up over the years, and it's fun to write that. It gives them something to write.
Woody Allen
Image
Paranoia is knowing all the facts.
Woody Allen
Image
I know of only six genuine comic geniuses in movie history Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Groucho Marx & Harpo Marx, Peter Sellers, and W.C. Fields.
Woody Allen
Image
The great roe is a mythological beast with the head of a lion and the body of a lion, though not the same lion.
Woody Allen
Image
I always feel, I guess being a product of the movies of the 40s where movies were the greatest things and screens were big and palaces were palaces and stars were larger than life that reality was so much inferior to what we felt was conceivably possible from what we had seen in the movies.
Woody Allen
Image
People ask me whether I think that one day I might wake up one morning and run dry, but I've had the opposite feeling - that I would die before I had time to write all the ideas in my drawer.
Woody Allen
Image
People always tease me. They say, look at you, you went for so much psychoanalysis and you're so neurotic, you wind up marrying a girl so much younger than you.
Woody Allen
Image
Boy, the food at this place is really terrible. The other one says, Yeah, I know and such small portions. Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.
Woody Allen
Image
I have no regard for that kind of ceremony. I just don't think they know what they're doing. When you see who wins those things-or who doesn't win them-you can see how meaningless this Oscar thing is.
Woody Allen
Image
Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.
Woody Allen
Image
The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.
Woody Allen
Image
Sex and death. Two things that come but once in my lifetime, but at least after death you're not nauseous.
Woody Allen
Image
Humorists always sit at the children's table.
Woody Allen
Image
The true test of maturity is not how old a person is but how he reacts to awakening in the mid-town area in his shorts.
Woody Allen
Image
If man were immortal, do you realize what his meat bills would be?
Woody Allen
Image
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy myself, but I didn't.
Woody Allen
Image
Standing in a garage no more makes you a car than standing in a church makes you a Christian.
Woody Allen
Image
The difference between sex and death is, death you can do alone and nobody laughs at you.
Woody Allen
Image
I'm a nice person! I have healthy life drives and goals! I don't drink, I don't smoke. I would never force myself sexually on a blind person!
