"Woody Allen is so funny and brilliant, I feel the astonishment I hope my audiences feel — I keep asking myself, ""How does he do it?""

"The man who gave us “West Side Story,” “A Little Night Music,” “Sweeney Todd,” and so many other acts of brilliance discusses his influences, his approach to his craft, why things work and don't work, etc. He takes you on a guided tour of his creative process. How often do you get to stroll through the mind of a genius?"

"I love Mr. King's work, and this is not just a great horror/sci-fi story, it's about the price people pay for being different, and about bullying, and parenting. As relevant as ever."
