I think if you have a comic perspective, almost anything that happens you tend to put through a comic filter. It's a way of coping in the short term, but has no long term effect and requires constant, endless renewal. Hence people talk of comics who are always on. It's like constantly drugging your sensibility so you can get by with less pain.
Woody Allen

When you write the script, you're home in a room by yourself, and you're writing, and there's no connection with the real performing world. So you get a lot of things wrong and make a lot of mistakes and make a lot of bad choices.

Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.

It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.

I wouldn't necessarily want to be a big muscular guy. It's nice to be gorgeous whether you're male or female assuming you don't lose whatever else you have.

I'm not a drinker, my body won't tolerate...eh...spirits, really. I had two martinis New Years Eve and I tried to hi-jack an elevator and fly it to Cuba.

I can't even make a leap of faith to believe in my own existence.
Woody Allen

See, I never gain an ounce, because, you know, my anxiety acts like aerobics.

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

All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.
Woody Allen
Image
I never thought I was doing anyone a favour by bringing children into the world. With people as cruel to each other as they are, it's a terrible proposition. The best of lives are sad and tragic. The best of them. My general conclusion is that it's not a nice thing to do. The world doesn't need it. The kid doesn't need it.

If I had my choice in life I would have had the gifts of Tennessee Williams or Eugene O'Neill. Unfortunately my gifts lie in comedy and so comedy comes fairly easy to me and I occasionally have an idea for a very serious piece and I do it, but the ideas don't come that readily to me.

One of the wonderful things about making a film of any genre is that you have dialogue. You can take up a position. If you want to say something about your position, you can just say it. You don't have to spend massive amounts of screen time.

You always think another time would have been ideal for you . . . the reality is there was no novocaine when you went to the dentist.

Humorists always sit at the children's table.

The government is unresponsive to the needs of the little man. Under 5' 7, it is impossible to get your congressman on the phone.

Man cannot live by bread alone. Every once in awhile he needs a salad.

Human beings are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun.
