The Writer:
Woody Allen has a style all his own. You always know when you’re watching a Woody Allen film — usually because he’s also starring in it, and directing. But these giveaways aside, Allen has an undeniably unique voice and a quirky sense of humor that has set him apart as one of the great screenwriters of our time.

Quotes:
My relationship with Hollywood isn’t love-hate, it’s love-contempt. I’ve never had to suffer any of the indignities that one associates with the studio system. I’ve always been independent in New York by sheer good luck. But I have an affection for Hollywood because I’ve had so much pleasure from films that have come out of there. Not a whole lot of them, but a certain amount of them have been very meaningful to me.
The two biggest myths about me are that I’m an intellectual, because I wear these glasses, and that I’m an artist because my films lose money. Those two myths have been prevalent for many years.
I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it by not dying.
