Immortal WordsWoody Allen was once asked whether he liked the idea of living on on the silver screen. "IŽd rather," he replied, "live on in my apartment."
[This remark was an ad-libbed permutation of his classic line: "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying." "Do you see this watch?" Allen asked on another occasion. "On his deathbed, my grandfather sold me this watch..."]
[Trivia: "Most of the time I don't have much fun," Allen once remarked. "The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all."]
