I don't know what organically grown chickens are; I've never seen one.
Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me.
Every movie I've been in has ended up on television.
But where there is no art show, I would still be painting.
But my longevity is due to my good timing.
At 17, I dreamed of seeing the world. At 19, I had been around the world and back.
I like Vegas for its spontaneity.
I will always remember this summer day in Paris, when I was to perform a great acrobatic move. I can still see myself stepping on the ring of a packed circus along real performers.
Even on a personal note, my dressing table downstairs is crowded with things, like a mini landscape. It's a city with buildings and towers and roads. There's a pool and a little park. When I move something around it becomes a different tableau.
The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.
I've just opened a show in Florida, although I also have many pieces on display around the world.
I joined the Navy hoping to be submariner and ended up in the sub service aboard a tender in the Pacific.
I enlisted when I was a boy. The Navy looked after me like my mother. It fed me, took care of me and gave me wonderful opportunities.
Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.
