More quotes by Woody Allen
The whole thrust of science and the medical profession is to try and prevent it from happening, to try to prolong life, to keep you from dying, to keep you from getting older, to rejuvenate you. I mean, that's everybody's wish. The fountain of youth is everybody's sought-after thing.
Woody Allen
If you don't fail now and again, it's a sign you're playing it safe.
Woody Allen
I don't like to meet the actor and have a lot of conferences and talk about their sub-life and their off-screen life and their back stories and all that nonsense, because it never means anything.
Woody Allen
Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.
Woody Allen
If you meet somebody and are attracted to someone, and the exquisite neurons in your brain and her brain intermesh properly, then things can be wonderful. It's not like homework. You don't have to work at the relationship.
Woody Allen
Life is like a concentration camp... you can't leave without dying.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen
If you're not failing, you're not trying anything.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen
In the shower, with the hot water coming down, you've left the real world behind, and very frequently things open up for you. It's the change of venue, the unblocking the attempt to force the ideas that's crippling you when you're trying to write.
Woody Allen
As the author you know how you want it to appear on screen and it's always the content dictating the form.
Woody Allen
In order to be successful, all you've got to do is show up 80 percent of the time.
Woody Allen
God, you Jews are truly exotic. Exotic? She should only know the Greenblatts. Or Mr. and Mrs. Milton Sharpstein, my father's friends. Or for that matter, my cousin Tovah. Exotic? I mean, they're nice, but hardly exotic with their endless bickering over the best way to combat indigestion or how far back to sit from the television set.
Woody Allen
Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy your children will not have you declared legally insane in order to gain control of your estate.
Woody Allen
I hope you're getting this down.
Woody Allen
The last time I was inside a woman was when I went to the Statue of Liberty.
Woody Allen
Why are our days numbered and not, say, lettered?
Woody Allen
