Quote

There is no justice, there is no rational structure to it [life]. That is just the way it is, and each person figures out some way to cope.

In certain areas I don't function well and in other areas I function very well. I'm very good professionally. I have good discipline, I'm able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I'm a coherent person, but I also don't like to go through tunnels when I travel. I'm claustrophobic.

Where I grew up in Brooklyn, nobody committed suicide. Everyone was too unhappy.
Woody Allen
Image
The film studios learned to our dismay but to their pleasure that if they spent $200 million making a film they could make half a billion on it. So they were not interested anymore in quality films... They can't afford to be that risky at those prices. Consequently you're getting a lot of remakes, sequels, dopey comedies full of toilet jokes...

I wouldn't mind dying so much if it wasn't that I would be dead at the end of it.

Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.
Woody Allen

All over the world, relationships between men and women are very, very tricky and very difficult and you don't learn anything. It's not an exact science, so you can't learn anything. You're always going by instinct and your instinct betrays you because you want what you want when you want it.

I don't wanna live on in my work. I wanna live on in my apartment.

I can't express anger. I grow a tumor instead.
Woody Allen

Your self-esteem is a notch below Kafka.
Woody Allen

There's no way to prove that there is no God. You just have to take it on faith.

Nothing like a little post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete.
Woody Allen

I can levitate birds. No one cares.

Should I marry W? Not if she won't tell me the other letters in her name. And what about her career? How can I ask a woman of her beauty to give up the Roller Derby? Decisions...
Woody Allen

I said this to my daughter, if you don't practice the guitar, when you get older you wouldn't be able to play it. It's that simple. If you want to play the guitar, you put a half hour in everyday, but you have to do it.

I always thought that as long as man is mortal, he will never be relaxed.
Woody Allen
Image
You'll find as you go through life that great depth and smoldering sensuality don't always win.
Woody Allen
Image
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
Image
I have a hyper-active imagination, my mind tends to jump around a little, and I have some trouble between fantasy and reality.

Taste my tuna casserole - tell me if I put in too much hot fudge.

If I just got up in the morning and had no place to go and was retired or something, I would be sitting there and be thinking, Gee, what is the purpose of life? Why are we all finite? Why do we get old and die? Is there nothing out there? Why is it so tragic? Why do our loved ones perish? Why do we generate? Who wants to think about that stuff
