NEW YORK _ ``We are all torn between reality and fantasy,'' Woody Allen was saying as he sat in the Righa Royal Hotel, just off the Broadway area of the New York City that he so loves.
``It's much more pleasurable to be in a fantasy, but, in the final analysis, we have to choose reality _ or we go crazy,'' he said.
``Then,'' he sighed, ``reality punishes us.''
Woody, looking pale and pretty much the age (60) that he will reach in a few weeks, is, yet again, playing the role his fans so love for him to play _ a put-upon social misfit and physically unprepossessing nerd who is valiantly fighting back at all the little things that life inflicts upon him.
