As I Turn 91... I Have To

I Draw All The Time. Drawing Is My Backbone. I Don't Think A Painter Has To Be Able To Draw, I Just Think That If You Draw, You Better Draw Well.

It Has Been Difficult To Hold Onto Many Paintings But I Have Retained A Few.

You Can't Take Yourself Too Seriously.

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.'

I Always Stayed In Tune With My Own Ambitions And Attitudes And I'm Still My Intractable Old Self, For Better Or Worse.
