I would die if Woody Allen ever called and said, 'Emma, I have a role for you.'
The reason I do what I do is because I was influenced by Steve Martin, by Woody Allen, by Bob Newhart, by Carol Burnett, by Lucille Ball.
Woody Allen is a better actor than anybody from the Actors Studio, and he can be anybody he says he is.
Woody Allen would go for seven years without a movie and then make one that makes no money.
I was immediately into all the great movie comedians - Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder. Everything those guys had anything to do with, from I don't know how young. Super young.
Unlike Woody Allen, I would be happy to be part of any (poetry) club that would have me.
I am defined also by Woody Allen’s films and Martin Scorsese and Jim Jarmusch and Julian Schnabel or Almodóvar, or by Guillermo del Toro, Iñárritu, Cuarón. Even if we haven’t worked with them, we are all defined by their filmography.
Yes, Im a New Yorker, born and bred. While Im not quite the L.A. snob that Woody Allen is, I do find myself happier in New York.
I had heard all sorts of stories about Woody Allen's directing - directorial approach. And some of them turned out to be myth. But, one of them was that he doesn't rehearse and another was that he doesn't really direct, if he doesn't like it...he cuts it out of the movie, or even replaces you.
It's true, people don't imagine I'd be particularly woody.
Woody Allen, when we did Vicky Cristina Barcelona, said to Rebecca Hall, "Do it one time happy, one time sad, and one time indifferent, as I won't know where you should be until I'm editing this, in terms of your emotions."
I was in my late 20s, in the process of shaping my musical outlook and what I wanted it to be about, when I first encountered Woody Guthrie.
Woody Allen is in his '70s and he's making movies, so I look forward to getting there.
John Logan pretty much does the Woody Allen thing of just bringing people in and meeting them.
I was definitely nervous turning up on my first day to shoot with Woody Allen.
I'm a great fan of Woody Allen's movies.
[Woody Allen] does very few takes, and he doesn't give a whole ton of directions, although he does give direction.
Just getting to talk to that person [Woody Allen ] in real life was pretty wild.
[ Woody Allen] persona in the films are so iconic; it's like on par with Groucho Marx or something like that.
