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

While you're doing it, you don't really know what you're doing.

I've always believed that service to others is rent we pay for our time on this planet.

I look at everything in an artistic way.

My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx.

I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife.

If you don't know your gift, you've got no lift.

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

I was born in and worked in a period that could be called enviable.

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

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.

The natural world is built upon common motifs and patterns. Recognizing patterns in nature creates a map for locating yourself in change, and anticipation what is yet to come.

Most likely, they were writing the same type of macho bullshit that I wrote, trying to sound tough with their words in case words were all that made it home.

Common folk didn't have last names in the 8th and 9th centuries.

I don't know why I still find it so hard to accept that words are faulty and by their very nature innacurate

Rock music is stronger than sports. That's why. Rock rules. Around the world, who's more famous: Willie Mays or Paul McCartney?

If I didn't find out, or learn, that I was an alcoholic and I didn't take the 12 Steps of Recovery, I wouldn't be the person I am today. So, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.

I don't remember ever not knowing about acting.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
