annie-hall honey size
Honey, there's a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick.
years parent together
My parents stayed together for forty years. But that was out of spite.
witty falling-in-love humorous
Men learn to love the woman they are attracted to. Women learn to become attracted to the man they fall in love with.
mother attitude father
I've inherited the worst of each parent. I have my father's hypochondria and lack of concentration. I have his amorality. I have everything bad that he had. Then I have my mother's surly, pill-like, complaining, whining attitude.
new-york cities city-streets
I'm a creature of the New York City streets.
new-york fighting reality
I've never felt Truth was Beauty. Never. I've always felt that people can't take too much reality. I like being in Ingmar Bergman's world. Or in Louis Armstrong's world. Or in the world of the New York Knicks. Because it's not this world. You spend your whole life searching for a way out. You just get an overdose of reality, you know, and it's a terrible thing. I'm always fighting against reality.
real people age
There is always the possibility that people will change. Real change is more rare. You are who you are at a certain age in life you are pretty much a variation of that your whole life. It?s conceivable that you will change but it's not likely.
interesting style directors
I can't imagine any director directing a screenplay of mine, because the great directors all have very personal styles, and the ones that don't are not very interesting directors.
religious years government
Last year I had difficulty with my income tax. I tried to take my analyst off as a business deduction. The Government said it was entertainment. We compromised finally and made it a religious contribution.

Death should not be seen as the end but as a very effective way to cut down expenses.
funny sarcastic witty
In California, they don't throw their garbage away - they make it into TV shows.
food terrible portions
The food here is terrible, and the portions are too small.
reality seductive fantasy
Fantasy is seductive and much more wonderful than reality, but you can't take it to the bank. It's always an escape. And if used as an escape, as in attending a movie or a show for a circumscribed period of time, it's fine. When it starts to become undifferentiated from reality, it leads to big trouble.
god witty humorous
God is silent. Now if only man would shut up.
