At 17, I dreamed of seeing the world. At 19, I had been around the world and back.

I feel strongly that we, all of us, are brothers and sisters, and nothing interferes with that except our education, our background, where we grew up and how we should do it. If you eliminated all those negatives and gave us an open view of what life would be like, it would be different.

I want the public to know that it will be an honor for me to meet them and spend a few special moments with all those who helped me through my filmed career.

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.

That so many people respond to me is fabulous. It is like having a kind of Alzheimer's disease, where everyone knows you and you don't know anyone.

Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.

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