Even on a personal note, my dressing table downstairs is crowded with things, like a mini landscape. It's a city with buildings and towers and roads. There's a pool and a little park. When I move something around it becomes a different tableau.

Like an opera singer, I am able to sing out my song in paint.

It's such a human condition, whether you're a great track star or a great knitting person or you paint watercolors - someone knows who you are.

I enlisted when I was a boy. The Navy looked after me like my mother. It fed me, took care of me and gave me wonderful opportunities.

For instance, I always have one hanging in Budapest in the mayors office.
