I'm going to go out on a limb here and say something that I never thought I would ever think, let alone, write. I probably will not be speaking it out loud any time soon.
I am not a "fan". And yet!
I like Woody Allen's attitude.
"If we think too much about life, it becomes unbearable."
You would never know it from the way he marketed himself throughout his life, but it really shows in this short clip from an interview. He makes perfect sense.
I may not have liked any of his films or any of his work as "an artist", but, man oh man, he just articulated our situation so very well.
Is this something like reverse cognitive dissonance?
