I'm a great fan of Woody Allen's movies.
I loved Woody Allen's short pieces. I was equally influenced by Woody Allen and Norman Mailer. I was very into this idea of being high-low, of being serious and intellectual but also making really broad jokes.
Woody Allen's movies are so much a part of me. I grew up watching them over and over and would read all his comic pieces for the New Yorker. In some ways, his influence is so much there that I can't even locate it any more.
I grew up watching his movies; I know everyone did, but I really feel that a lot of my formative years were informed by Woody Allen films.
I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. Good movie, bad movie, it doesn't matter - I just like his movies.
Probably the only way Woody Allen and I are similar is that he has a lot to say about Nietzsche.
The real achievement of Woody Allen was that he was making movies that felt very personal, and for a whole group of people, it spoke to them. Then he became an archetype, like Groucho Marx or Chaplin.
You don't ever really get to know Woody Allen.
I just adored working with Woody. He was more than I could have ever dreamed of. I'd do it a million times over.
It's a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful, and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior.
