Quotes of Legend - George Lucas

George Lucas sent this congratulatory letter to the producers of Lost: "Congratulations on pulling off an amazing show.

Quotes of Legend - Woody Allen

74-year-old Woody Allen on getting older: "I find it a lousy deal. You don't get smarter, you don't get wiser, you don't get more mellow, you don't get more kindly. Nothing really happens. Your back hurts more, you get more indigestion, your eyesight isn't as good, you need a hearing aid. It's a bad business getting older, and I would advise you not to do it."
