I Was Born In And Worked In

Like An Opera Singer, I Am Able To Sing Out My Song In Paint.

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.

I Enjoy Being Recognized Whatever Environment I'm In.

I Will Always Remember This Summer Day In Paris, When I Was To Perform A Great Acrobatic Move. I Can Still See Myself Stepping On The Ring Of A Packed Circus Along Real Performers.

I Used To Be Good Friends With My Depression, Saying Oh I'm So Depressed, Or Life Is Terrible.
