Woody Allen: I don’t have patience

Woody Allen has admitted that he lacks “patience” as a filmmaker. The director revealed that he prefers to shoot scenes in a swift manner rather than exploring different ways of filming a scene.

He told The Daily Telegraph: “If you look at guys who are not lazy, let’s say Steven Spielberg or something – you know, they work.

“They go out on location somewhere, and they live in the desert for a year, or in some godforsaken country for ages, making a film. And they shoot every angle and do everything. I can’t do that. I don’t have the patience.”

Allen recently said that he is not the great artist he one day hoped to be.
