Woody Allen

Woody Allen
I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.
Woody Allen
The best things in life are censored.
Woody Allen
The comedies are not a million laughs on the set. Its business and the dramas are business as well, really. When I'm writing it I struggle more with drama because I started out in comedy.
Woody Allen
