For most of my life, I wasn't on the Left.

Easy Rider' was never a motorcycle movie to me. A lot of it was about politically what was going on in the country.

I didn't see an abstract painting until I was 18, when I went to Vincent Price's house and saw Richard Niebencorn, Wolff, Jackson Pollack. He had an amazing collection. I didn't know people painted abstractly, I thought I was just doing something wholeheartedly.

I went back to photography in the 1990s. But from the 60s to the 90s I didn't really take any photographs at all, unfortunately. During that period I lived in France, I lived in England, I lived all over the place in different cities. I didn't take any photographs and because I felt I had really accomplished everything that I wanted to in photography during the period between 61 and 67.

I wanted to be an actor. I decided when I was very young, when I first saw movies, that I wanted to be an actor.

I never really made any money and it certainly cost me more to take photographs than I got for them.
