His movies are filled with rapid-fire one-liners, neurotic characters, anguished relationships, and old-time jazz music. Allen's vision of New York—whether in comedies or dramas—has shaped our perception of the city more than any other modern filmmaker. \"\"On the screen,\"\" John Lahr wrote in the New Yorker in 1996, \"\"Allen is a loser who makes much of his inadequacy; off-screen, he has created over the years the most wide-ranging oeuvre in American entertainment.\"\" \u003cem\u003eWoody Allen: Interviews\u003c\/em\u003e collects over twenty-five years of interviews with the director of \u003cem\u003eManhattan\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHannah and Her Sisters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCrimes and Misdemeanors\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBullets Over Broadway\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAnnie Hall\u003c\/em\u003e, for which he won an Oscar. The book's interviews reveal a serious director, often at odds with his onscreen persona as a lovable, slap-stick loser. Allen talks frankly about his rigorous work habits; his biggest artistic influences; the attention he devotes to acting, screenwriting, and directing; and how New York fuels his filmmaking. Along with discussing film techniques and styles, Allen opens up about his love of jazz, his Jewish heritage, and the scandal that arose when he left his longtime partner Mia Farrow for her adopted daughter. Including four interviews from European sources, three of which are now available in English for the first time, \u003cem\u003eWoody Allen: Interviews\u003c\/em\u003e is a treasure trove of conversations with one of America's most distinctive filmmakers. Robert E. Kapsis is professor of sociology at Queens College and is the author of \u003cem\u003eHitchcock: The Making of a Reputation\u003c\/em\u003e. His work has appeared in the \u003cem\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eVariety\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJournal of Popular Film and Video\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eCineaste\u003c\/em\u003e and at the Museum of Modern Art.
