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

There's something about my films they're informed by my sensibility. I have the same preoccupations, the same interests... there's just something in the nuance, and so you always know it's a film of mine whether I sign my name to it or not.

Life is for the living.
Woody Allen

I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.
Woody Allen

The French make two mistakes about me. They think I'm an intellectual because I wear these glasses and they think I'm an artist because my films lose money.
Woody Allen

I'm really a timid person - I was beaten up by Quakers
Woody Allen
Image
The movie is usually, for me, something organic that grows all the time. I sit home and write it, and I'm in an isolated, four-walled environment, and I don't know what's going on. I just write it, and it's appearing in my head in some idealized way where every single moment works, and every little thing is perfect, because it's in my head.

Doing abominations is against the law, particularly if the abominations are done while wearing a lobster bib.
Woody Allen
Image
You look up after many years and you find that a film has become a classic because it's meaningful to people and alive, decade after decade.
