 New York in a way functions as another character within the story, as it does within most of Woody Allen's stories. |

| Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it's not the most Christian of sentiments. |
| I think part of that is to create an environment where it's like real life, where you don't really know what's going to happen to you in a certain scene. |

| I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol. |
| But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie. |
