I didn't know what to expect from a famous movie star; maybe that he'd be sort of stuck-up, you know. But not Gary Cooper. He horsed around so much... that I had a hard time painting him.

It wouldn't be right for me to clown around when I'm painting a president.

I keep the pornographic stuff in a bus station locker.

I'm the oldest antique in town.

I'm still about as pigeon-toed as you can get. But I learned to manage pretty well on a bike. Should have had a bicycle then, when I was a kid, but our family didn't have the money for such luxuries. I saved up to buy one myself a few years later.

I work from fatigue to fatigue at my age there's only so much daylight left.

I just wanted to do something important.
