Quote

Jazz is a big thing with me. It's a very big passion of mine, to play it. I'm an amateur musician and I love everything about it. I was obsessed with jazz when I was 15 years old and I know a lot about it because I've loved it so much.

You'll find as you go through life that great depth and smoldering sensuality don't always win.
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.
Woody Allen

Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat...college.
Woody Allen
Image
The heart wants what it wants. There's no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that's that.
Woody Allen
Image
Human beings are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun.
Woody Allen
Image
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

God, you Jews are truly exotic. Exotic? She should only know the Greenblatts. Or Mr. and Mrs. Milton Sharpstein, my father's friends. Or for that matter, my cousin Tovah. Exotic? I mean, they're nice, but hardly exotic with their endless bickering over the best way to combat indigestion or how far back to sit from the television set.

I'm really a timid person - I was beaten up by Quakers
Woody Allen

Does art imitate life, or does life imitate TV?
Woody Allen
Image
I'm not a drinker, my body won't tolerate...eh...spirits, really. I had two martinis New Years Eve and I tried to hi-jack an elevator and fly it to Cuba.
Woody Allen
Image
Ads answered out of desperation in the New York Review of Books proved equally futile as…the 'Bay Area Bisexual' told me I didn't quite coincide with either of her desires.
Woody Allen
Image
Your self-esteem is a notch below Kafka.
Woody Allen
Image
For a while we pondered whether to take a vacation or get a divorce. We decided that a trip to Bermuda is over in two weeks, but a divorce is something you always have.

Harvard makes mistakes too, you know. Kissinger taught there.
Woody Allen

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.
Woody Allen
Image
It's easier to direct. If you direct something poorly and re-shoot it the next day, stage it better, make it work better, you have a lot of possibilities. You can edit it in certain ways so that it works, but there's no getting around weaknesses of the script.
Woody Allen
Image
What I do know about physics is that to a man standing on the shore, time passes quicker than to a man on a boat - especially if the man on the boat is with his wife.
Woody Allen
Image
You make films whether they're dramas or comedies about neurotic people. Flawed people. Interesting personality traits. To make them about calm, stable untroubled people isn't interesting.

Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things.
