You Can't Take Yourself Too Seriously.

As I Turn 91... I Have To Admit My Hours At The Easel Have Diminished.

I Don't Know If I'm An Impressionist Or An Expressionist. You Can Call Me An American First... I've Been Labeled Doing Neimanism, So That's What It Is, I Guess.

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.

I Hold Doors Open For All The Women. Men Can Open The Doors For Themselves.

Throughout My Life, Cigars Have Played Different Roles For Me. They Fit Easily And Well In The Various Stages And Experiences Ive Had -- Like A Companion, Almost. If Youve Smoked A Long Time, As I Have, They Become Part Of You.
