“My relationship with death remains the same. I am very strongly against
it.”
Woody Allen chats with the press at the Cannes Film Festival.
“You can imagine how frustrating it is when I do these movies with Scarlett Johansson
and Naomi Watts, and the other guys get them. And I’m the director. I’m the, you know,
that old guy over there is the director. I don’t like that. I like being
the one that sits across from them in the restaurant and looks in their
eyes and lies to them.”
We don’t actually have to imagine it, Mr. Allen: you made it pretty clear in Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona how hot you were for Scarlett Johansson. Hard to blame you, old boy.
