Quote

I see no advantages in aging whatsoever. You become shriveled. You become decrepit. You lose your faculties. Your peer group passes away. You sit in a room gumming your porridge. I don't see any advantage in this whatsoever.

It figures you've got to hate yourself if you've got any integrity at all.
Woody Allen

If there is reincarnation, I'd like to come back as Warren Beatty's fingertips.
Woody Allen

When you are dead, it is hard to find the light switch.
Woody Allen
Image
People make films for different reasons. For money. Or, they make them because something in them demands artistic expression. I do it because I enjoy the work.
Woody Allen

What is it about death that bothers me? Probably the hours.
Woody Allen
Image
In certain areas I don't function well and in other areas I function very well. I'm very good professionally. I have good discipline, I'm able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I'm a coherent person, but I also don't like to go through tunnels when I travel. I'm claustrophobic.
Woody Allen
Image
The movie is usually, for me, something organic that grows all the time. I sit home and write it, and I'm in an isolated, four-walled environment, and I don't know what's going on. I just write it, and it's appearing in my head in some idealized way where every single moment works, and every little thing is perfect, because it's in my head.
Woody Allen
Image
Take the money and run.
Woody Allen
Image
Our love, our love will last forever. It's forever but it just doesn't work. That's why it will always be romantic because it can not be complete.
Woody Allen
Image
Not think of death as an end, but think of it more as a very effective way of cutting down on your expenses.
Woody Allen
Image
I was a smart kid and I was not understood by my parents.
Woody Allen
Image
I got a divorce because my ex-wife left me for another woman.
Woody Allen
Image
Some people are funny, and some people are not funny. Many people who are not funny can make a living at it. You don't have to be great to make a living at it. Just like a doctor who doesn't have to be great can still make a living out of it.
Woody Allen

The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.
Woody Allen
Image
God is silent. Now if only man would shut up.
