Comedians have a tendency to have a limited range, they tend to do one thing and do it very well, but it's limited.
Woody Allen
Image
I think [aging] has nothing to recommend it. You don't gain any wisdom as the years go by. You fall apart, is what happens. People try and put a nice varnish on it, and say, well, you mellow. You come to understand life and accept things. But you'd trade all of that for being 35 again.

Sylvia Plath. Interesting poetess whose tragic suicide was misinterpreted as romantic by the college-girl mentality.
Woody Allen

He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion... no, make that: he - he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yes. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.

I have a limitless amount of great music at my disposal and it's very, very pleasurable because when the music goes on the film it's amazing how much it livens up the film and gives it an emotional kick in the pants, sort of.

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.
Woody Allen

I'm so excited-I think today I'm going to brush all my teeth.
Woody Allen
Image
I hate reality but it's still the best place to get a good steak.
Woody Allen
Image
I carry a bullet in my breast pocket. Once, a crazy evangelist threw a bible at me, which would have gone through my heart if it wasn't for the bullet.
Woody Allen
Image
I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.
Woody Allen
Image
I think universal harmony is a pipedream and it may be more productive to focus on more modest goals, like a ban on yodeling.
Woody Allen
Image
I've often felt that life is a hard deal and it's unrelentingly tragic and an uphill fight.
Woody Allen
Image
You can't anticipate in the room the riches of what you encounter when you're location hunting for a movie.
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
The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.
Woody Allen
Image
You are much more dependent on luck than you think. People say if you want to have a good relationship, you have to work at it. But you never hear it about anything you really like, about sailing or going to soccer games.
