teacher art mind
I'm a sworn enemy of convention. I despite the conventional in anything, even the arts. I paint canvasses on the floor and drove one art teacher out of his mind. But that's just the way I paint best.
thinking order massage
I don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away.
children father fairy-stories
I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.
girl would-be looks
Sophia Loren would be a glamour girl even if she were in rags selling fish. She has the look, the movement and the intellect.
daughter fathers-day dad
I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much.
beauty beautiful girl
My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.
believe play-time people

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

Analysis gave me great freedom of emotions and fantastic confidence. I felt I had served my time as a puppet.

Films have a certain place in a certain time period. Technology is forever.

Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It's OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat.
men age too-much
Men are most virile and most attractive between the ages of 35 and 55. Under 35 a man has too much to learn, and I don't have time to teach him.
white house experts
Experts always know everything but the fine points. When I took my citizenship exams, no one there knew how the White House came to be called the White House.
