Allen told the BBC that he’s dumb and he sucks as a director.
In London for the world premiere of his new film “Match Point,” set in the British capital, Allen said: “People think I’m an intellectual because I wear glasses and they think I’m an artist because my films lose money.”
Of course, Allen was once a standup comic, so he’s… kidding! Right? When you’ve led the charmed life that Allen has– Oscars, critical acclaim, a nice gig with no boss breathing down your neck, enough money to live in Manhattan for 40 or 50 years– ain’t nobody buying this self-deprecating thing.
