Now I'm a painter. That was another opportunity I was able to pursue, I've been painting all my life, now it's become a second career because of my success in the movies.

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've made 122 movies, and I daresay there's a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.

My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx.

But where there is no art show, I would still be painting.

I enjoy being recognized whatever environment I'm in.

Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me.
