As I got more confident, I was able to let actors improvise, and do long takes. It's 10%, 5% you learn and experience. The rest you just have or you don't have.

Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym.

I heard that Commentary and Dissent had merged and formed Dysenery.
Woody Allen
Image
I've always believed that thoughtful people don't really take the tabloids seriously. They're basically a form of entertainment. I enjoy them as much as the next New Yorker.
Woody Allen
Image
Man consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.
Woody Allen
Image
I prefer the magic to reality, and have since I was 5 years old. Hopefully, I can continue to make films and constantly escape into them.

Woody Allen
Image
The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.
Woody Allen

Woody Allen
Image

Woody Allen
Image
Paris is a very exciting city. I learned about Paris the same way that Americans do: from the movies.
Woody Allen
Image
That's the way I feel about the world: there are certain problems that can only be dealt with that way - going out and doing them. As ugly a truth as that is, I do think it's the truth about the world.
Woody Allen
Image
I never wanted to or expected to make a film outside of New York. New York became very, very expensive. The same $18 million spent in Barcelona or Rome goes much further there.
Woody Allen
Image
No matter what the shrinks, or the pundits, or the self-help books tell you, when it comes to love, it's luck.
Woody Allen
Image
I don't know enough to be incompetent.
Woody Allen
Image
I've always had an easy time directing actors because I always hire ones that are great before I get my hands on them.
