A Wall Street Journal article notes, "Actors—women especially—love to appear in Woody Allen films… Though he's good at it, Allen actually hates casting, and his process is so eccentric that, Juliet Taylor, Allen's casting director said, 'We warn people beforehand.'
"The whole interview typically lasts about a minute, and in most cases the actors aren't even asked to take a seat. "I find the whole experience very awkward, because I am socially awkward," Allen said. "I don't like meeting people." - From How Woody Allen Sees It By Charles McGrath http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323469804578523611076250442.html
