"What people who don't write don't understand is that they think you make up the line consciously — but you don't. It proceeds from your unconscious. So it's the same surprise to you when it emerges as it is to the audience when the comic says it. I don't think of the joke and then say it. I say it and then realize what I've said. And I laugh at it, because I'm hearing it for the first time myself."

A fun feature by Esquire. Great read for writers and Woody Allen fans, in particular.

So Woody hasn't learned about second drafts.

Having seen MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, I'm not in the least surprised.
