I Don't Know Why I'm Drawn To

Each One Of My Films Is Personal; Each One Of My Films Is Emotionally Autobiographical. And I Like Directors Who Do That.

I'm Really Attracted To Authors Who Take On Really Tricky Material With A Very Open Mind And Take A Subject Matter That You Wouldn't Think Would Be A Comedy.

I Think It's A Mistake For Young Filmmakers To Just Buy Digital Equipment And Shoot A Feature. Make Short Films First, Make Your Mistakes And Learn From Them.

Filmmaking Is Finding A Piece Of Granite And You Start To Chip Away And Then You Have The Shape Of A Head, The Shape Of The Arm, You Can See The Shape Of The Face And The Face Starts To Gather Character. You Have To Find It.

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.
