Woody Allen

I’ve had a very productive life. I’ve worked very hard, I’ve never fallen prey to depression. I’m not sure I could have done all of that without being in psychoanalysis.

I’ve had bad luck in my two previous marriages. The first wife left me, and the second did not. ­

I’ve inherited the worst of each parent. I have my father’s hypochondria and lack of concentration. I have his amorality. I have everything bad that he had. Then I have my mother’s surly, pill-like, complaining, whining attitude.

I’ve never been an intellectual but I have this look.

I’ve never dated a fictional character before. The closest I ever came was an Italian.

I’ve often felt that life is a hard deal and it’s unrelentingly tragic and an uphill fight.

If God is everywhere, I had concluded, then He is in food. Therefore, the more I ate the godlier I would become. Impelled by this new religious fervor, I glutted myself like a fanatic.

Woody Allen

If I can play a scene in a master shot, I always prefer it. And the actors always prefer it. It’s fun to look at on the screen, the actors get a chance to sink their teeth into something substantial, and it’s economically helpful.

Woody Allen

If I could change the structure of existence I would do it. I could see a better way to live for everybody.

Woody Allen

If I could just hope to have a major talent, then I would rather have it in music than in any other field.
