Hello Woody we are Chagit & Noga .We would like to ask you few questions.


 * You were born in the Bronx in 1935.what was your school experience?**

I was a very clever student. In my first year at school, the teacher put me in an accelerated class because of my high IQ. But I hated school from the first moment. At school I liked gym class and I was good at it.


 * Did you ever steal something as a kid? A lot of kids have those stories, where their parents made them put it back.**

I have that story. Just once in my life I took a little paper moustache, the kind that you stick on your nose. I mentioned to my father that I had stolen it and he grabbed me and dragged me back to the store, which was a block-and-a-half away, and made me put it back. That was the only time.


 * Why did you want to be a film director?**

"I am a really depressed person and when I work, I forget about the depression. I go home and I think about a problem in the world. Then, I think about a solution and I turn the problem and the solution in to a movie. But if I have a problem I can't solve, I feel depressed again. I try to keep myself busy all the time so that I won't think about sad things. Other than making movies, I like watching baseball games and I also play the clarinet."


 * People claim that you repeat your self, what do you think?**

"The people are right. Sometimes I write a joke in the script and realize that I used the same joke ten years ago."


 * How do you want people to remember you after you die?**

"I don't really care what people think about me. People can take my movies and dump them in the garbage if they want. In the past it was important to me, but now it doesn't matter.


 * Sometimes the criticism in the papers is not so good. How does it influence you?**

I never read criticism, I haven't done this for the last 30 years because I don’t want to confuse myself with all the different opinions that every body has. I hope people will love my movies and if not, they will love the next one.

I don’t want to think about the future. I don’t know what will be but I want to continue making movies because that’s what I like to do.
 * What do you plan to do in the future?**

You produced one movie at least every tow years. Isn't it boring? Do you have any new ideas for movies?**
 * Since 1966 you have diracted and directed movies.

No, it's not boring Making movies is my hobby. It is my job. The ideas never finish. With the years I get better and get lots of new ideas. In every movie I meet lots of wonderful new people and actors.

= = I like to play and direct, and by directing I can make up the characters personality and act it**.**
 * There are some movies that you are both director and actor. How do you succeed?**


 * You were married many times. In your movie you have a lot of dilemma in relations. Are those dilemmas taken from your personal life?**

Yes. A lot of the dilemmas in my movies are from my personal life. I like giving actors that have no connection to divorce, to deal with my dilemma. That way I can look at those dilemmas from different angles.
