It is no secret that organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one considers that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies.

I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
Woody Allen
Image
Me and nature are two.
Woody Allen
Image
I believe in sex and death- two experiences that come once in a lifetime.
Woody Allen
Image
In life, one is entitled to a side dish of either coleslaw or potato salad, and the choice must be made in terror, with the knowledge that not only is our time on earth limited but most kitchens close at ten.
Woody Allen

There are worse things than death. Many of them playing at a theater near you.

Tradition is the illusion of permanance.
Woody Allen

All the crap they tell you about... getting joy and having a kind of wisdom in your golden years - it's all tripe.
Woody Allen

Some people are funny, and some people are not funny. Many people who are not funny can make a living at it. You don't have to be great to make a living at it. Just like a doctor who doesn't have to be great can still make a living out of it.

Life is short. Short, and not about anything except what you can touch and what touches you.
Woody Allen

Dying is like making love, except you don't get naseous afterwards.
Woody Allen
Image
I wouldn't necessarily want to be a big muscular guy. It's nice to be gorgeous whether you're male or female assuming you don't lose whatever else you have.
Woody Allen
Image
With me it's just a genetic dissatisfaction with everything.
Woody Allen
Image
I wish my parents had raised me in Manhattan because I think it's the greatest thing you can do for a kid is to raise them in New York City. I can see this with my own children.
Woody Allen
Image
Sometimes some of the best moments are contributed by the actors being creative, with their own improvisations.
Woody Allen
Image
I don't rely on anybody except my own judgment. I don't get much input. I don't know if that's helped me or if I would be better off if I did rely on someone.
Woody Allen

A tree never hits an automobile except in self defense.
Woody Allen
Image
I never knew what Amazon was. I've never seen any of those series, even on cable. I've never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I'm out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there's Charlie Rose and I go to sleep.

I've always liked, someday the lamb will lay by the lion.... but it won't get much sleep.

The content dictates the style all the time. That's the way it is. If the content of the film - as in Husbands and Wives - is highly jagged, neurotic, fast-paced, nervous New York film, it just called for that kind of shooting, editing and performance.
