Am I my brother's keeper? Yes. Interestingly, in my case, I share that honor with the Prospect Park Zoo.

Nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind.
Woody Allen

The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.
Woody Allen
Image
There is something about big cities that turns me on, and for whatever mysterious reason, places like New York and Paris inspire me. I think it's because cities represent civilization, and as crime-ridden and broken down as some of them are, it's still better than skipping through a meadow.
Woody Allen

Life is unresolved, confusing, bewildering, puzzling, ambiguous. You don't really know what's going to happen. The future is uncertain for everybody.
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.

How am I immature? Intellectually, emotionally, and sexually. Yeah, but in what other ways?

I don't want to live forever through my work. I want to live forever by not dying.

When I get up in the morning, I go and I work with beautiful women and charming men and funny comedians and dramatic artists. And I'm presented with costumes and great music to choose from and sets. I travel a certain amount of places, so I've been living in a bubble. And I like it.

None of the arts are any good unless you really are great at them.
Woody Allen

There's no rhyme or reason to anything that I do. It's whatever seems right at the time.
Woody Allen

The curtain rises on a vast primitive wasteland, not unlike certain parts of New jersey.
Woody Allen

I'm not anti-social. I'm just not social.
Woody Allen

Ads answered out of desperation in the New York Review of Books proved equally futile as…the 'Bay Area Bisexual' told me I didn't quite coincide with either of her desires.
Woody Allen
Image
I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.
Woody Allen
Image
I don't rely on anybody except my own judgment. I don't get much input. I don't know if that's helped me or if I would be better off if I did rely on someone.
Woody Allen

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Woody Allen

I myself don't like to speak to the actors at all. I like to hire great people and let them do their thing. I don't like to speak to them. I don't like to have lunch with them. I don't like to socialize with them. I don't like to hear their ideas.
Woody Allen

I think, on both sides of the camera or the novel: Distraction. I'm obsessed with: Can I get this actress or my third act to work? I'm distracted. I'm interested in that so I don't sit home and think, Gee, life is meaningless. We're all going to die. The universe is pulling apart at breakneck speed.

Everything is controlled by a small evil group to which, unfortunately, no one we know belongs.
