Burt Lancaster was a very powerful and intriguing person. That essence of what he was, is the very thing that you and I see on the screen when we watch him.

I like Vegas for its spontaneity.

I was born in and worked in a period that could be called enviable.

I can't sit around and wait for the telephone to ring.

I've just opened a show in Florida, although I also have many pieces on display around the world.

The service meant so much to me. You don't know privileged I feel and how lucky I am to have served.

My parents were Hungarian immigrants; my father was a tailor and we lived in the back of a tailor store. And that was my first inkling of what it was like to be raised in America. It had a profound effect on me - I saw different people coming in all the time with different attitudes and I liked it. And as I grew older, I found that I was able to use something inside of me to get some sympathy if I wanted it. I used to shine shoes, and I would use a waif-like look. I'd get a dime and I'd be as happy as could be.
