I hold doors open for all the women. Men can open the doors for themselves.

The people who love my paintings, that respond to them the most, they're spectators, they're not viewers.

I always stayed in tune with my own ambitions and attitudes and I'm still my intractable old self, for better or worse.

But 'Playboy' was liberating. I was drawn to it and went for it full throttle.

You know what I like about San Francisco? The women are beautiful, fashionable and smart. San Francisco is one of the only cities I like to visit. I love New York and Chicago - I studied there, and L.A. has the same people as New York.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy, I slogged through the Ardennes, and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

I've got the public. I don't care about the critics. I did at one time. I don't any more. I did when I needed compliments. But if you get a lot of compliments, you don't need a critic to tell you, 'This should be done another way.'
