The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.
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.
But my longevity is due to my good timing.
I joined the Navy hoping to be submariner and ended up in the sub service aboard a tender in the Pacific.
I'm world famous, everywhere I go there are people who love me because of I've been able to bring them some joy from the movies I've made.
Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.
My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx.
While you're doing it, you don't really know what you're doing.
Hollywood ... the most sensational merry-go-around ever built.
Joe: We can't just walk out on her without saying goodbye. Jerry: What? Since when? You usually walk out and leave 'em with nothing but a kick in the teeth. Joe: That's when I was a saxophone player. Now I'm a millionaire.
That so many people respond to me is fabulous. It is like having a kind of Alzheimer's disease, where everyone knows you and you don't know anyone.
I've made 122 movies, and I daresay there's a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.
Yes I'm still working, but my life's no longer filled with it.
