More quotes by Woody Allen
I do the movies just for myself like an institutionalized person who basket-weaves. Busy fingers are happy fingers. I don't care about the films. I don't care if they're flushed down the toilet after I die.
Woody Allen
Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable with the possible exception of a moose singing 'Embraceable You' in spats.
Woody Allen
Usually, you hire people that you think are wonderful.
Woody Allen
I don't believe in God. Just try getting a plumber on the weekend.
Woody Allen
Don't worry, I know almost exactly what I'm doing.
Woody Allen
It's all through the actors I cannot write in that idiom
Woody Allen
There's no way to prove that there is no God. You just have to take it on faith.
Woody Allen
You know what my philosophy of life is? That it’s important to have some laughs, but you got to suffer a little too, because otherwise you miss the whole point to life.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen
It figures you've got to hate yourself if you've got any integrity at all.
Woody Allen
The history of the world is like: He kills me, I kill him, only with different cosmetics and different castings. So in 2001, some fanatics killed some Americans, and now some Americans are killing some Iraqis. And in my childhood, some Nazis killed Jews. And now, some Jewish people and some Palestinians are killing each other.
Woody Allen
Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.
Woody Allen
What is so fascinating about sitting around watching a bunch of pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop?
Woody Allen
I never ever see a film of mine after I release it to the public. I see it when I shoot it in my dailies and while I'm editing it, re-editing it and reshooting it and all that. By the time it's finished I never want to see it again.
Woody Allen
Man cannot live by bread alone. Every once in awhile he needs a salad.
Woody Allen
