Sunil Mittal

Even while in school – initially, Vineberg Allen in Mussourie, and later, a number of schools in Ludhiana – I aspired to achieve great things in life. Admittedly, I wasn’t quite sure about what these great things would be.

– Sunil Mittal

Stewart Lee

There’s an assumption that my audience is all these bearded twats from Dalston. But actually, quite a lot of older people go. For them, it’s like pre-alternative comedy, when there was Dave Allen or Jackie Mason or someone. Also, weirdly, because I don’t really swear, they’re not scared off.

– Stewart Lee

Steven Gaines

There are some things that other people just don’t want to forgive you for. For instance, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi.

– Steven Gaines

Steve Allen

I personally find it difficult to accept that there could be anyone on earth insensitive to the comic abilities of Laurel and Hardy, Sid Caesar, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, or Martin Short. But no matter who the comic entertainer is, there is always at least a minority prepared to say, ‘What’s all the excitement about? He doesn’t seem funny to me.’

– Steve Allen

Stephen Merchant

My heroes – people like Woody Allen – were stand-up comedians. Therefore, I always felt I should give it a go.

– Stephen Merchant

Stephen Merchant

I know that this sounds grand, but I don’t try to compete with other people. I like to think there’s enough pie for everyone. The kind of people I’m competing with are my heroes – Woody Allen, Billy Wilder – who I know I’m going to fall short of.

– Stephen Merchant

Stephen Merchant

A lot of my comic influences are distinctly American: Woody Allen and Bob Hope, for example. They were always the underdogs who were using wit to sort of battle their way through. And it seems to me that a lot of contemporary U.S. comedies are shot through with losers. None of the characters in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ for instance, are studs.

– Stephen Merchant

Stephen A Smith

Once upon a time, it was hard to decipher what was more difficult to stomach: the foolish, detrimental behavior of a professional athlete or the apologists disguised as their inner circle, eager to excuse the inexcusable. And then there came Allen Iverson, who didn’t make it difficult at all.

– Stephen A Smith

Stacey D'Erasmo

I was influenced by big, strong voices – writers like Elizabeth Bowen, Virginia Woolf, Jane Bowles; gay writers like Ed White, Michael Cunningham, Allen Hollinghurst; and contemporary lesbian writers, like Dorothy Allison.

– Stacey D’Erasmo

Spike Lee

People sometimes forget all the films that we’ve done. They remember the likes of ‘Malcolm X’ and ‘Do the Right Thing.’ But I’ve been working since 1986. From the beginning, I was determined to not just be a flash in the pan. I’ve got to keep up with Woody Allen. He’s lapping me.

– Spike Lee

Spalding Gray

I may look like an American WASPy doctor or lawyer, but I feel just like Woody Allen. Don’t cast me for my looks – I have a very ironic, existential, crazy Jew in me.

– Spalding Gray

Soon-Yi Previn

Please don’t try and dramatize my relationship with Woody Allen. He was never any kind of father figure to me.

– Soon-Yi Previn
