Painting Is Much More Than Therapy To

My Parents Were Hungarian Immigrants; My Father Was A Tailor And We Lived In The Back Of A Tailor Store. And That Was My First Inkling Of What It Was Like To Be Raised In America. It Had A Profound Effect On Me - I Saw Different People Coming In All The Time With Different Attitudes And I Liked It. And As I Grew Older, I Found That I Was Able To Use Something Inside Of Me To Get Some Sympathy If I Wanted It. I Used To Shine Shoes, And I Would Use A Waif-like Look. I'd Get A Dime And I'd Be As Happy As Could Be.

But Where There Is No Art Show, I Would Still Be Painting.

I've Made 122 Movies, And I Daresay There's A Picture Of Mine Showing Somewhere In The World Every Day.

My Whole World Before I Joined The Navy Was My Neighborhood In The Bronx.

My Life Is Very Full; My Wife Makes It So. I'm 82 Years Old And I'm Having The Best Time I've Ever Had In My Life. I Want To Share That With All Of You. Find A Way To Do That, Find A Way To Be At Peace With Yourself, To Enjoy The Little Things In Life. Make Them Your Own.
