Woody Allen
If you aren't failing, you aren't trying.
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.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen

Woody Allen
I keep wondering if there is an afterlife, and if there is will they be able to break a twenty?
