More quotes by Woody Allen
Until you've been kissed on a rainy Parisian afternoon - you've never been kissed.
Woody Allen
Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it.
Woody Allen
There will be no major solution to the suffering of humanity until we reach some understanding of who we are, what the purpose of creation was, what happens after death. Until those questions are resolved we are caught.
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
When I started out, I was a television writer, and we wrote a television show that was on live every week. And you didn't have the luxury of coming in and waiting to be inspired. You came in and you had to write. And you wrote, because it was going to be live on the air. So I can do that.
Woody Allen
Why are our days numbered and not, say, lettered?
Woody Allen
I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own.
Woody Allen
A fast word about oral contraception. I was involved in an extremely good example of oral contraception two weeks ago. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said 'no'.
Woody Allen
You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.
Woody Allen
I'm really impotent against the overwhelming bleakness of the universe and the only thing I can do is my little gift [filmmaking] and do it the best I can, [...] which is cold comfort.
Woody Allen
Why ruin a good story with the truth?
Woody Allen
My films are a form of psychoanalysis, except that it is I who am paid, which changes everything.
Woody Allen
Why not? Life is short, life is dull, life is full of pain - and this is a chance for something special.
Woody Allen
People think I'm an artist because my films lose money.
Woody Allen
The most important words in the English language are not 'I love you' but 'it's benign.'
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
The best an idea gets is when its in your head.
Woody Allen
The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.
Woody Allen
Well, if I don't get at least 16 hours, I'm a basket case.
Woody Allen
My brain? It's my second favorite organ!
Woody Allen
