More quotes by Woody Allen

Image
The movie is usually, for me, something organic that grows all the time. I sit home and write it, and I'm in an isolated, four-walled environment, and I don't know what's going on. I just write it, and it's appearing in my head in some idealized way where every single moment works, and every little thing is perfect, because it's in my head.

Between the Pope and air conditioning, I'd choose air conditioning.
Woody Allen

One of the interesting things is, the most gifted people, the biggest people, have no problem taking small roles.

Image
I've always believed that thoughtful people don't really take the tabloids seriously. They're basically a form of entertainment. I enjoy them as much as the next New Yorker.

Does art imitate life, or does life imitate TV?
Woody Allen

Our love, our love will last forever. It's forever but it just doesn't work. That's why it will always be romantic because it can not be complete.

I believe in sex and death- two experiences that come once in a lifetime.
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.

My grandfather had a wonderful funeral... On the buffet table there was a replica of the deceased in potato salad.
Woody Allen
Image
There are three rings involved with marriage. The engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.
Woody Allen

I didn't know he was dead I thought he was British.
Woody Allen
Image
When a film is reviled, you open a film and people say Oh, it's the stupidest thing, it's the worst movie. You think: oh, nobody's going to ever speak to you again. But, it doesn't happen. Nobody cares. You know, they read it and they say Oh, they hated your film. You care, at the time. But they don't. Nobody else cares.

That’s one of the nice things about writing, or any art if the thing’s real, it just lives.

Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.

Image
I was in analysis. I was suicidal. As a matter of fact, I would have killed myself, but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian and if you kill yourself they make you pay for the sessions you miss.

Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.

Marriage is like mushrooms: we notice too late if they are good or bad.

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.
