It's a required part of your film history to know who Woody is. His movies are so wonderful, and not just funny but so insightful about human behavior.

I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than have to continuously share details of my everyday life.

I have an obsessive character. I manicure my nails at three in the morning because nobody else can do it the right way. Maybe that's the secret to my success.

Growing up I never got into comic books at all. I didn't have any inspiration for it.

There's no such thing as an aura of mystery anymore. It doesn't exist. That's a thing of the past.

My grandmother was also an active member of the tenants association and a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, and both of my parents were extremely liberal, so I think I grew up in a household that was very politically conscious - we all watched the elections on TV, and we watched the debates. So it was an awareness that we were raised with, and as we grew into young adults, we just naturally became politically active. It was just understood that it was important, that it was our responsibility.

Obviously filming and working has consistently been a part of my life. I've never had a huge break of time when I wasn't working on something or promoting something.
