I'm a great fan of Woody Allen's movies.

It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.

I love doing comedy, and that's the thing I will always go back to, really, but I'd love to have the freedom to do sort of 'meaty' roles but also have the freedom to do the sort of films I want to make, like what Woody Allen does. You forget he's funny because you're so gripped by the story, but they still make you laugh.

Woody Allen is in his '70s and he's making movies, so I look forward to getting there.

If Woody Allen called me, I'd be there straight away. Who wouldn't? Truly.

Woody Allen is a great dramatist and a great comedian.

No one turns down a film with Woody; it's something everyone wants in their career as an important moment. He's such a comedic genius, without question, so I was thrilled.

I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. Good movie, bad movie, it doesn't matter - I just like his movies.

From the onset of the 'Live-Read' series, we wanted to hit all the major writers and Woody Allen is simply one of the greatest screenwriters of all time. He has ability to match pathos and comedy and drama and then turn it all on a dime. If you're going to make a series based on dialogue, you can't find much better than Woody Allen.

I am desperate to do a comedy now.
