Exclusive Interview with Woody Allen
Q: Do you think we'll survive?
I think it's a neck and neck race. I don't think it's any... I'm not as sanguine as I was, but I think probably we will.
Exclusive Interview with Woody Allen
Q: Did you enjoy writing the book as a process?
I enjoyed it because I get up in the morning, I can do my stupid exercises which I hate, and then I can flop down on my bed where I write and just leave them.
Exclusive Interview with Woody Allen
Q: Did you want to do stand-up or was Jack Rollins and Joffrey Singh get on stage and, you know?
I went to Jack Rollins, who was the deservedly the definitive manager, and I asked him to handle me as a writer, but he encouraged me to try stand-up.
