Woody Allen Quotes

Visually I’ve always liked the 20s 30s for film. I do these because I like the music. I like the clothes. I like the way the women and the guys look. There are soldiers and sailors and gangsters with the machine guns in their violin cases. It’s a very colorful era of New York, full of great theater and great nightclubs and great jazz Picture Quote #1

In 1940 I was just turning 5 years old and being taken to the movies. For those of us who were not old enough to understand the horror of war it was a very romantic era because these guys were kissing their wives and girlfriends goodbye and going off to fight and become heroes Picture Quote #1

I was raised in a religious home. It was unreasonable enforced religion that turned me off it. It was a joyless, unpleasant, stupid, barbaric thing when I was a child and I’ve never gotten over that feeling. If you’re talking about religion it’s one thing; I don’t hold Jewish religion with any more seriousness than I would any other Picture Quote #1

The Jewish culture - people that are Jewish have a certain cultural habit that they’ve formed and one of those habits is an appreciation of theater and music - these are cultural things one does associate with values that are promulgated by Jewish families. I think that’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

I have a great admiration for English actors and actresses and have used them at every opportunity over the years, but now I won’t have to import them to New York Picture Quote #1

I don’t like theatrical actors and actresses. I like people that talk like real human beings Picture Quote #1

What was the scandal? I fell in love with this girl, married her. We have been married for almost 15 years now Picture Quote #1

The great question of philosophy remains: If life is meaningless, what can be done about alphabet soup? Picture Quote #1

For some reason I’m more appreciated in France than I am back home. The subtitles must be incredibly good Picture Quote #1

My relationship with American audiences is the exact same as it always has been. They never came to see my films, and they don’t come now Picture Quote #1

American films, it’s a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art Picture Quote #1

I didn’t go to Paris until I was a grown-up in 1965. And when I went to Paris, it was the Paris I knew only from American movies Picture Quote #1

I like so many different directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Jarmusch, Gus van Sant, Woody Allen and the greats like Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and among current filmmakers von Trier, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai Picture Quote #1

To me nature is... spiders and bugs, and big fish eating little fish, and plants eating plans, and animals eating... It’s like an enormous restaurant, that’s the way I see it Picture Quote #1

When you start putting a higher value on works of art than people, you’re forfeiting your humanity Picture Quote #1

People make films for different reasons. For money. Or, they make them because something in them demands artistic expression. I do it because I enjoy the work Picture Quote #1

I’ve had bad luck in my two previous marriages. The first wife left me, and the second did not Picture Quote #1

I always write the same way. I always write with a yellow pad and a ballpoint pen on my bed. And then I go and type it up afterwards. I’ve always done that. Those things become habitual Picture Quote #1

I think you should defend to the death their right to march, and then go down and meet them with baseball bats. (On the KKK) Picture Quote #1

I love baseball. You know, it doesn’t have to mean anything. It’s just very beautiful to watch Picture Quote #1

I never knew what Amazon was. I’ve never seen any of those series, even on cable. I’ve never seen The Sopranos, or Mad Men. I’m out every night and when I come home, I watch the end of the baseball or basketball game, and there’s Charlie Rose and I go to sleep Picture Quote #1

I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it’s fantastic Picture Quote #1
