Quote

Magic has always been of a great interest of mine. I was an amateur magician when I was young. I used to practice and read up on it a lot. I'm well-aware of the history of magic.

More quotes by 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
Some guy hit my fender, and I told him, 'Be fruitful and multiply,' but not in those words.
Woody Allen
Image
There's no point in looking back, because there's nothing you can really do to improve the film. You can only aggravate and wish you had done stuff better.
Woody Allen
Image
I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.
Woody Allen
Image
I never knew what Amazon was. I've never seen any of those series, even on cable. I've never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I'm out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there's Charlie Rose and I go to sleep.

I'm a creature of the New York City streets.
Woody Allen
Image
The French make two mistakes about me. They think I'm an intellectual because I wear these glasses and they think I'm an artist because my films lose money.
Woody Allen
Image
Paris is a very exciting city. I learned about Paris the same way that Americans do: from the movies.

How the hell do I know why there were Nazis? I don't know how the can-opener works.

Reality may not be the best of all possible worlds, but it's still the only place where you can get a decent steak.
Woody Allen
Image
Fantasy is seductive and much more wonderful than reality, but you can't take it to the bank. It's always an escape. And if used as an escape, as in attending a movie or a show for a circumscribed period of time, it's fine. When it starts to become undifferentiated from reality, it leads to big trouble.
Woody Allen
Image
The great roe is a mythological beast with the head of a lion and the body of a lion, though not the same lion.
Woody Allen
Image
Jazz is a big thing with me. It's a very big passion of mine, to play it. I'm an amateur musician and I love everything about it. I was obsessed with jazz when I was 15 years old and I know a lot about it because I've loved it so much.
Woody Allen
Image
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.
Woody Allen
Image
I've been escaping my whole life. Since I was a little child, I escaped into the movies on the other side as an audience member. I escaped by going into the movies and sitting in the movies all day long.

Ninety percent of life is just showing up.
Woody Allen
Image
There will be no major solution to the suffering of humanity until we reach some understanding of who we are, what the purpose of creation was, what happens after death. Until those questions are resolved we are caught.
Woody Allen
Image
You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.
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 should go to Paris and jump off of the Eiffel Tower. If I took the Concorde, I could be dead three hours earlier.
