It’s true, people don’t imagine I’d be particularly woody Picture Quote #1

Woody Allen is a great dramatist and a great comedian Picture Quote #1

You know, I was on ‘Cheers’ for eight years, and I couldn’t get another job, and I thought, ‘I’m going to be Woody Boyd forever.’ Which is not bad, but I really thought I was capable of more Picture Quote #1

New York in a way functions as another character within the story, as it does within most of Woody Allen’s stories Picture Quote #1

We don’t need another Woody. Even Bob Dylan knew he couldn’t be Woody Guthrie... I like Woody Guthrie fine, but I don’t need the 50th generation version of it Picture Quote #1

First off, I love Woody Allen. His early movies, like ‘Hannah and Her Sisters,’ are incredible. I also love anything by Billy Wilder, Ron Howard and John Hughes. I really grew up on the Hughes films, which are the ones I go back and watch all the time, just to see how they were put together Picture Quote #1

I know that this sounds grand, but I don’t try to compete with other people. I like to think there’s enough pie for everyone. The kind of people I’m competing with are my heroes - Woody Allen, Billy Wilder - who I know I’m going to fall short of Picture Quote #1

I try not to see Woody Harrelson because he has become this big movie star, and it grates, so I try and stay away from him Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge Bob Hope fan, up until about the late 50s. I’ve seen so many of his movies up until then, and they’re a big influence on me and a big influence on Woody Allen, who is basically just ripping off Bob Hope for his first five or six movies Picture Quote #1

Woody Allen is a better actor than anybody from the Actors Studio, and he can be anybody he says he is Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A part of me looks at life from a dismal perspective, not unlike Woody Allen and Larry David. But I don’t want to look at life like that. It’s bad enough that I have to think it. What works for me is writing against that view. There is God, there is love, there is greatness, there is a plan, and there is beauty Picture Quote #1

Woody Allen movies are like Beatles songs. I can’t name my favorite without you immediately naming a better one Picture Quote #1

A lot of my comic influences are distinctly American: Woody Allen and Bob Hope, for example. They were always the underdogs who were using wit to sort of battle their way through. And it seems to me that a lot of contemporary U.S. comedies are shot through with losers. None of the characters in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ for instance, are studs 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

A lot of Woody Guthrie’s songs were taken from other songs. He would rework the melody and lyrics, and all of a sudden it was a Woody Guthrie song Picture Quote #1

Martin Scorcese is probably America’s greatest living director, and while he is not a titan like John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or Federico Fellini, he is certainly consistently more interesting than Steven Spielberg, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola or Woody Allen. Even a failure like Gangs of New York or a curiosity like The Aviator is more interesting and ambitious than Munich, The Black Dahlia or Scoop Picture Quote #1

Barbra Streisand has always been an inspiration for me. I admire Jennifer Lopez because she’s been against all the odds, and she’s made such a name for herself, and she can put her name on anything and it sells, and I admire that about her, but Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen are my favorites Picture Quote #1

I took an acting class with Louise Lasser, Woody Allen’s first wife and co-star in many movies. I’ve done some other indie films, if you look on the YouTube. I love acting - it’s great Picture Quote #1

I did admire the comments and the music of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. And that didn’t fly too well in the Deep South. It was not quite redneck enough Picture Quote #1

It’d be great to do some other TV. ‘Breaking Bad’ is definitely my home, but I’d love to have a nice hiatus gig, like a recurring role. Or to do a good film. I’d like to do a Woody Allen movie. I really didn’t have a plan, and that’s okay with me Picture Quote #1

I did ‘Celebrity’ by Woody Allen. I did ‘The Gingerbread Man’ with Robert Altman. These were big talents Picture Quote #1

When I went to Paris, I had a lot of ideas about it that were formed in the sort of ether that flows about if you watch too many recent Woody Allen movies or took French classes as a kid. I was certainly full of those Picture Quote #1

I was on my bus, and on my bus I have a yoga swing. Jennifes comes on, and she goes, ‘ Hi, Woody, I’m J--- is that a sex swing?’ Her first sentence to me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my two favorite books were Woody Allen’s ‘Side Effects’ and Phyllis Diller’s ‘Housekeeping Hints.’ I carried that Phyllis Diller book with me everywhere when I was in fifth or sixth grade. Eventually, it just fell apart Picture Quote #1

Working with Nancy Meyers (Something’s Gotta Give) and ... Charles Shyer (Father of the Bride), and I’m proud of Reds, and I’m proud of my movies with Woody (Allen) Picture Quote #1

In New York, you’ve got Donald Trump, Woody Allen, a crack addict and a regular Joe, and they’re all on the same subway car Picture Quote #1
