Allen. Sam Fragoso: You're more prolific than most people. Woody Allen: But prolific is a thing that's not a big deal.
It's not the quantity of the stuff you do; it's the quality. A guy like James Joyce will do just a couple of things, but they resonate way beyond anything I've ever done or ever could dream of doing. Would you say your quality, in spots, dipped because of the quantity? When you start out to make a film, you have very big expectations and sometimes you come close.
When I did Match Point, I felt I came very close. But you never get that thing that you want.
You always set out to make Citizen Kane or to make The Bicycle Thief and it doesn't happen. You can't set out to make something great head- on; you just have to make films and hope you get lucky. Have you considered scaling back, making a film every few years? It wouldn't help. It's not that I feel, . Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese will work on the details until midnight and sweat it out, whereas for me, come 6 o'clock, I want to go home, I want to have dinner, I want to watch the ballgame. Filmmaking is not .
Another shortcoming is that I don't have the intellect or the depth or the natural gift. The greatness is not in me. When you see scenes in . There would be 1. He was crazy. I don't have any of that. You wouldn't consider yourself crazy? No, no. My problem is that I'm middle- class.
If I was crazy I might be better. That probably accounts for my output.
I lead a very sensible life: I get up in the morning, I work, I get the kids off to school, do the treadmill, play the clarinet, take a walk with my wife. It's usually the same walk every day. If I were crazy, it would help. If I shrieked on the set and demanded, it may be better, but I don't. Look, we all have to make a living in life and do something.
Making films, by the general standard of jobs, is a very good one. You work with very gifted people. I work with beautiful women and good men. Most performers want to work with you. There are two factors: 1) I give them good parts to play and they are artists and they don't want to keep doing blockbuster movies.
They want to act in something. But they want to work with me when the blockbuster movie hasn't offered them anything. If I offer them something and then Jurassic Park offers them something, they take Jurassic Park because of the money. The way you describe filmmaking, it comes across as a job first, passion second, so where do you find happiness?
It's not a tedious chore; it's a pleasant way to make a living. I like playing music, I like being with the family, but I don't have any ecstatic highs. I'm not like Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I enjoy working. If it's 7 in the morning and you're on the set and there's Scarlett Johansson or Emma Stone, and you're dealing for a year with costumes and music ..
But I'm not someone who does heroin. Have you experimented with drugs recreationally or for creative purposes? I've never done any drugs whatsoever. I've never taken a puff of marijuana. I've never taken a recreational pill of any sort. I can barely bring myself to take two Extra Strength Excedrin. Not once? No, and I don't even have the curiosity.
People say all the time, . I'm not curious to travel, but I do because my wife likes it. I'm not curious to see other places, I'm not curious to try new things.
I go to the same restaurants all the time, and my wife is always saying, . When Elaine's was open in New York, I ate every dinner, seven nights a week, for 1. And I was right in the thick of it. I would play . Kelly's and the .
All the folk acts, the rock acts. The subject of drugs never interests me. There are a lot of subjects that don't hold my attention. I'm not interested in technology. I don't have a computer. I'm not interested in traveling, popular music. I can't bring myself to get motivated.
And yet you're making a series for an online audience with Amazon. Right, I've never seen one. I think they're going to be embarrassed. They're going to regret that they started up with me.
I'm doing my best. I'm working a six- episode series. They're no good? I have grave doubts about them. I thought it was going to be an easy score. Movies are not easy, but it's not a cinch. I don't want to disappoint them.
After all these years of making movies about death (the fear of it, how to beat it, etc.), do you feel, at 7. You don't beat that anxiety. You don't mellow when you get older and gain a Buddhist acceptance. Is it worse now? It's not worse; it's the same.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, at 2. You're hardwired to fight to live. You can't give logical reasons why, but you're hardwired to survive. You would prefer not to. You would prefer that the life story was a different scenario, but it's not. How long have you been seeing an analyst? Well, not continually.
I was in analysis when I was 2. I was a little older. I've been in and out. Now I check in once a week just to charge the batteries.
Has it helped? It's funny, it's helped, but not as much as I've wanted. Years ago, I remember, I brought my clarinet into the repair shop, and the guy took two weeks and put new pads on and everything. When I went in, I said, .
Every case is different. It depends how close you are to getting better by yourself. If someone is close to it, the shrink can give you that little push and they make it. Download Whole Chasing Trane (2017) Movie. Where/when have you experienced that push? When I first started to be a comedian, I used to have the fantasy all the time that they'd hate me. I'm going to get on stage and they're not going to like me.
The problem was — psychologically, but unbeknownst to me — I was worried I was not going to like them. And that was causing me anxiety, which I transferred to, ? It was fine! It got me out of my parent's house and got me into New York City and reality. My wife was a nice, smart person, but I would sometimes become nauseated during the night and I kept thinking it was the food. I never liked people.
What's your problem with people? I think some of them are wonderful, but they are so many of them that are not.
I was one of the few guys rooting for the comet to hit the Earth. Statistically, more people that deserved to go would go. Would you consider yourself a good person? I would consider myself .. When I was younger I was less sensitive, in my 2. But as I got older and began to see how difficult life was for everybody, I had more compassion for other people.
I tried to act nicer, more decent, more honorable. I couldn't always do it. When I was in my 2. I didn't care about other people that much.
I was selfish and I was ambitious and insensitive to the women that I dated. Not cruel or nasty, but not sufficiently sensitive. You viewed women as temporary fixtures? Yes, temporary, but as I got older and they were humans suffering like I was ..
I learned empathy over the years. Do you have any major regrets?
Oh! My biggest regret — I have so many, trivial ones and big ones — is that I didn't finish college. I allowed myself to get thrown out.
I couldn't care less about it at the time. I regret that I didn't have a more serious life; that my films were too entertaining when I started. I wanted to be . Yes, that's what got me by. It saved me. But it was the easy road when I started, and I did it.
If I had it to do over again, I would be a more dedicated artist. I would've been more serious right from the start. People could look at that and say, . Those are the only movies of yours that we enjoyed. Whenever you've tried to be serious or tried to be meaningful, we walk out.
