"Which book do you read most often?' ... and Woody Allen (I have the entire Woody Allen collection)."

"I just love Woody Allen movies, so much. Annie Hall is also the first movie poster I owned — and it’s an original; I feel so happy to have it. I would love to work with Woody Allen. I would love to."

"The reality is, the movies that were most impactful to me growing up, when I decided I wanted to make movies, I was going to see Woody Allen double features with my brother, back when they had double features. Younger audiences today, they don’t even know what that word means. But they would show two Woody Allen movies back to back. Bananas. Take the Money and Run, that era of Woody Allen."

"I want to throw a shout-out to — I can’t decide. It’s between Woody Allen or Mel Brooks."

"I know this is not the best Woody Allen film I’ve ever seen, but it’s still my personal favorite. Only Woody Allen could mix highbrow Bergman homages and Marx Brothers-esque slapstick. I also love how much fun he seems to be having with the great Diane Keaton. If only there were a blooper reel."

"I love Love and Death by Woody Allen. It’s a movie that, if I’m ever sick or depressed, makes me feel better instantly."

"Woody Allen is so funny and brilliant, I feel the astonishment I hope my audiences feel — I keep asking myself, ""How does he do it?""

"Midnight in Paris, wow. A very imaginative film. Woody Allen at his best. Just wonderful. I wanna go and really get caught up in a movie when I go, and that one definitely did it for me."

"Zelig, by Woody Allen, just because I think it’s one of the most ingenious pieces of faux filmmaking and yet it’s hilarious and it has a sort of brilliant sense of history and a touch of absurdity and madness to it."
