Quote

I'm a big believer in supporting the action on film with the appropriate music. It covers a multitude of sins. It's gotten me out of a lot of jams, over the years. So, music for me is a very big thing in films and I use it unashamedly.

My wife and I thought we were in love, but it turned out to be benign

The difference between sex and death is, death you can do alone and nobody laughs at you.
Woody Allen
Image
I write the script nobody sees it, not the people that put the money in the picture. I cast who I want, and make the film. That's why I've always felt the only thing standing between me and greatness, is me. There's no excuse for me not to be great except that I'm not.
Woody Allen

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.

You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.

I can live in Paris for four months or London or, you know, Barcelona. These are places that are like New York. But I don't think I could live in many places. When I had to make a film in the United States I picked San Francisco because to me it's one of the great cities of America.

I should go to Paris and jump off of the Eiffel Tower. If I took the Concorde, I could be dead three hours earlier.

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.

I usually want to crawl into the ground after I make a film, almost invariably.

When you are dead, it is hard to find the light switch.

I have one last request. Don't use embalming fluid on me I want to be stuffed with crab meat.

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.

[Stanley] Kubrick was a great artist and a perfectionist. He always wanted the exact right thing. He did a million takes. Everything had to be perfect. I'm an imperfectionist. I don't really care that much about the work. I write quickly. I'm careless. I shoot carelessly.

I don't own a computer. I've never seen anything online at all - nothing. I don't own a word processor. I have none of that stuff. It's not an act of rebellion. I'm just not a gadget person.

When I was born my mother was terribly disappointed. Not that she wanted a girl - she wanted a divorce.

They were doing the Dying Swan at the ballet. And there was a rumor that some bookmarkers had drifted into town from upstate New York and that they had fixed the bullet. There was a lot of money bet on the swan to live.

Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat...college.
