Woody Allen

When I asked my mother where babies came from, she thought I said rabies. She said you get them from being bitten by a dog. The next week, a woman on my block gave birth to triplets... I thought she'd been bitten by a Great Dane.

Where I grew up in Brooklyn, nobody committed suicide. Everyone was too unhappy.
Woody Allen

Your self-esteem is a notch below Kafka.
Woody Allen
Image
Every time you make a movie it's a new and different experience. You learn very little from the past. So, I'm a little bit better than I was when I first started.
Woody Allen
Image
His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy.
Woody Allen
Image
I do occasionally envy the person who is religious naturally, without being brainwashed into it or suckered into it by all the organized hustles.
