American films, it's a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art.
Woody Allen
Image
In real life I'm not the character I play in my films. I'm reasonably competent, I work very hard, I'm disciplined, I lead a very middle class life. I work in the mornings, I have lunch, I practise my clarinet, I go to the movies, I eat out in restaurants or watch ball games on television or at the ball games.

I have no idea what I am doing but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.
Woody Allen
Image
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
Image
Your self-esteem is a notch below Kafka.
Woody Allen
Image
I'm really impotent against the overwhelming bleakness of the universe and the only thing I can do is my little gift [filmmaking] and do it the best I can, [...] which is cold comfort.
Woody Allen

This stuff tastes awful I could have made a fortune selling it in my health-food store.

Who's the bigger idiot, the idiot or the idiot who gets fooled by the idiot?
Woody Allen

There's nothing like the discovery of an unknown work by a great thinker to set the intellectual community atwitter and cause academics to dart about like those things one sees when looking at a drop of water under a microscope.

Usually, you hire people that you think are wonderful.
Woody Allen

What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream? Or what's worse, what if only that fat guy in the third row exists?
Woody Allen
Image
Yes, but the difference is that when you're dead and somebody yells, 'Everybody up, it's morning,' it's very hard to find your slippers.

The dictatorship is shut up, democracy is always concerned.

Sex is like having dinner: sometimes you joke about the dishes, sometimes you take the meal seriously.
