I never have an alter ego in the movies. That's a fiction that the press has made up over the years, and it's fun to write that. It gives them something to write.

More quotes by Woody Allen
My relationship with death remains the same - I'm strongly against it.
Woody Allen
Does art imitate life, or does life imitate TV?
Woody Allen
I was a smart kid and I was not understood by my parents.
Woody Allen
We laughed over it, and Hemingway punched me in the mouth.
Woody Allen
My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.
Woody Allen
I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.
Woody Allen
I like writing. It keeps my mind off grim subjects. It's therapeutic in the same way a patient in an institution is given fingerpaints.
Woody Allen
Fantasy is seductive and much more wonderful than reality, but you can't take it to the bank. It's always an escape. And if used as an escape, as in attending a movie or a show for a circumscribed period of time, it's fine. When it starts to become undifferentiated from reality, it leads to big trouble.
Woody Allen
I didn't know he was dead I thought he was British.
Woody Allen
I wonder if Socrates and Plato took a house on Crete during the summer.
Woody Allen
Eternity is really long, especially near the end.
Woody Allen
Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.
Woody Allen
The great question of philosophy remains: If life is meaningless, what can be done about alphabet soup?
Woody Allen
My films are misinterpreted all the time. I don't mind that. Everybody's films are misinterpreted. But there's no malice or stupidity in the people that misinterpret them. You know what you do, but someone else sees it, and they want to talk about it or write about it, and so they misinterpret them.
Woody Allen
I have an intense desire to return to the womb. Anybody's.
Woody Allen
Some guy hit my fender, and I told him, 'Be fruitful and multiply,' but not in those words.
Woody Allen
I've been escaping my whole life. Since I was a little child, I escaped into the movies on the other side as an audience member. I escaped by going into the movies and sitting in the movies all day long.
Woody Allen
. . . they confuse everything I do with my life.
Woody Allen
Marriage is the death of hope.
Woody Allen
The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter. You know, if it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. I think that the worst thing you could say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. After all, you know, there are worse things in life than death.
