The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know. |
I've been in the movies for 50 years, I've made 130 some-odd movies. |
I don't know what organically grown chickens are; I've never seen one. |
But my longevity is due to my good timing. |
If you know how to live in Vegas you can have the best time. |
Now I'm a painter. That was another opportunity I was able to pursue, I've been painting all my life, now it's become a second career because of my success in the movies. |
It's such a human condition, whether you're a great track star or a great knitting person or you paint watercolors - someone knows who you are. |
Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me. |
It is for the latter that I always wanted to be an actor: to play characters who are always on the move. |
The service meant so much to me. You don't know privileged I feel and how lucky I am to have served. |
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. |
I've just opened a show in Florida, although I also have many pieces on display around the world. |
My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx. |
I joined the Navy hoping to be submariner and ended up in the sub service aboard a tender in the Pacific. |
I used to be good friends with my depression, saying oh I'm so depressed, or life is terrible. |
I can't sit around and wait for the telephone to ring. |
I enjoy being recognized whatever environment I'm in. |
Every movie I've been in has ended up on television. |
