Quote

The less I speak to the actors, the better. And I always hire great people, and I don't want to impose my pre-conceived notions on them. They know how to play it.

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.

The last woman I was in was the Statue of Liberty.

Psychoanalyses is like music lessons, for 5 years you do not notice any progress and suddenly you can play the piano.
Woody Allen
Image
We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
Woody Allen
Image
My heart says one thing. My head says another. Very hard to get your heart and head together in life.
Woody Allen

There's no way to prove that there is no God. You just have to take it on faith.
