Woody Allen
I think crime pays. The hours are good, you travel a lot
Woody Allen
A general philosophy of the female characters in my films is they all want something to believe in, and not having anything.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen
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.
