Quote

I always write the same way. I always write with a yellow pad and a ballpoint pen on my bed. And then I go and type it up afterwards. I've always done that. Those things become habitual.

More quotes by Woody Allen

To be a film director is not a democracy, it's really a tyranny. You're the head of the project, for better rather than worse. I write the film and I direct the film, I decide who's going to be in it, I decide on the editing, I put in the music from my own record collection.

In the event of war, I'm a hostage.
Woody Allen
Image
I don't like to reminisce much, and my walls don't have photographs of me and the actors I was with, or any of that stuff... I try and keep that disciplined, and just work. There are so many traps you can get into, and looking back on your own work is certainly one of them.
Woody Allen

The heart wants what it wants. There's no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that's that.

There are worse things than death. Many of them playing at a theater near you.

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.

The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.

I don't think my film style has changed. I'm doing the same kind of jokes I did when I was younger.
Woody Allen
Image
The heart is a very, very resilient little muscle. It really is.

I wonder if Socrates and Plato took a house on Crete during the summer.

Who's the bigger idiot, the idiot or the idiot who gets fooled by the idiot?

Photons have mass? I didn’t even know they were Catholic.
Woody Allen
Image
I did not marry the first girl that I fell in love with, because there was a tremendous religious conflict, at the time. She was an atheist, and I was an agnostic.
Woody Allen

One filmmaker makes films that are deep, intellectual, profound and confrontational. And the other one makes purely vacuous, escapist films. I'm not sure the one who makes escapist films is making a poorer contribution than the one who makes the deeper films.

Curiosity, that's what kills us. Not muggers or all that bullshit about the ozone layer. It's our own hearts and minds.

See, I never gain an ounce, because, you know, my anxiety acts like aerobics.

People ask me whether I think that one day I might wake up one morning and run dry, but I've had the opposite feeling - that I would die before I had time to write all the ideas in my drawer.

I can't do anything to death, doctor's orders.
