Being in class

In a documentary film that aired on Turner Classic Movies channel, Woody Allen apparently acknowledges that he is the originator of the quote.

From a review of the film:

"He's baffled that his advice to young playwrights -- '80 percent of life is showing up' -- is so well known. 'That quote has been used 10,000 times all over the world to represent me with some kind of profound insight,' he says. 'As if I could determine the percentage.'"
