"I wouldn't want to be apart of any club that has ME for a member"
Actually, that's a quote from Groucho Marx.
Woody Allen has a few memorable ones including: "80% of success is showing up." and "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying."
Hitchcock had many signatures in his films.
A good deal of his films feature a male lead who was either framed or just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and essentially become the wrong man on the run. These plots would force him to run after the leads which put him in the predicament in the first place, often times having to reassert his identity. These stories would often lead to suspenseful climaxes either at or on top of famous national landmarks. North By Northwest and Saboteur are excellent examples, and even The Wrong Man exemplifies this convention in its title.
His films were almost always of the first person perspective and exemplified his yearning to place the audience as the voyeur.
A cool, elegant blonde was a typical female lead that would become a romantic interest for the male.
If a landmark is not a key part of the film, some sort of audible cue is. The 39 Steps and both versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much had a central audible cue involved.
Of course, many of these intriguing narratives were fueled by international spy anxieties, augmented by the Cold War.
Hitchcock would also litter his films with black humor, or gags which are of morbid taste.
Motherhood is also a theme in his films, Psycho of course features the most twisted version of this signature theme.
Lastly, Hitchcock made a cameo appearance in nearly all of his films. Sometimes these appearances were easy to spot and others more difficult. Late in his career, he put these cameos earlier in the film to not distract his audience.
Soon-Yi Previn (22 December 1997 - present) She used to be his step daughter while he was married to Mia Farrow. Their relationship started while she was just 14.
Annie hall yo...weaver and goldblum have really small parts..."i forgot my mantra"
The quote is generally attributed to Woody Allen.
The closest attributable quote is "Showing up is eighty percent of life" which appeared in the New York Times on August 21, 1977, and was attributed to Woody Allen (see Related Links, and thanks to Fred Shapiro for the detective work on this).
A quick web search shows many ways the quote has been changed over the years, including changing:
So a common version now is "90% of success is just showing up."
The line has been attributed to Annie Hall, but this appears to be incorrect.
No, certainly not. Mr. Allen is still making his annual film (although many fans think he shouldn't) and plays with his Jazz band.
Woody Allen began as a comic writer, then became a stand-up comedian, then a comic actor, and finally a film director. He has been nominated for 17 Oscars{R} and 12 Golden Globes, an impressive amount of praise for someone who openly expresses contempt for Hollywood award shows.
It's conceivable. He doesn't seem to have interests other than baseball and music. And I'd imagine that someone who does have Asperger's would want to pretend to be confident and flirty in movies like he does.
Woody Allen has never attended the Oscars to give or receive an award. The only time he attended, it was to make a plea after 911 for movie makers to continue making movies in New York City. No explanation could be found.
That would be the sci-fi comedy Sleeper from 1973.
My 4 favorites are: Annie Hall (1977), Manhattan (1979), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) and Hannah and Her Sisters (1986).

Woody Allen [b. December 1, 1935] and Woody Harrelson [b. July 23, 1961] are movie stars with the first name of 'Woody'. Allen is a movie star who's best known for his screenwriting and directing talents. But he consistently draws upon his considerable experience as a stage and film actor. He's the recipient of three Academy Awards. But he also is the record breaking recipient of 21 nominations: one for acting, 6 for directing, and 14 for screenwriting.
Woody Harrelson has a solid reputation as the bartender in the television series 'Cheers', which is always in demand for reruns. He has an equally solid reputation in films. That reputation is reflected in his Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor in 'The Messenger', in 2009.
