I was named after the next-door neighbor's German shepherd. It was either that or Cadillac Smith.

I had a very crazy aunt and uncle who we traded my brother Webster to for a Siamese cat. It was heaven to live with my aunt and uncle because you got spoiled to death.

I'm very close to my parents and we built a sailboat together when I was growing up. We're partners.

I was the only guy who is referred to as Mr. Smith in the New York Times and in the same week as Sexy Rexy in some teen magazine.

My father always said, 'It ain't bragging if it's true.'

I can get into politics. I'm a pretty straight guy for this business. I have a pretty healthy outlook.

It used to be that a movie star would have a 20-year career. Now if you get three to five years, you're lucky.

Everything is disposable now: disposable lighters, disposable blades, disposable stars. They inflate you up for one big deal and then they look for someone else.

I have long-range plans, but you always have to wait for business to catch up with you. It's a matter of contracts and meetings catching up with your ideas of what you want to accomplish in life.

I'm too much of a planner. I would have been a dentist; that's what I was thinking of being. Dr. Rex, open wide and say "Ah." I think I'd look good in a smock.

I came up to New York at 20 with a suitcase and a ceramic tiger. That was my one piece of furniture and I wanted to save it.

I discovered that when one follows the artist's eye one sees unexpected treasures in so many seemingly ordinary scenes.

Today, and everyday, I give that which I want to receive.

Old age is when you are not bothered with bad dreams, but with bad reality.

I grew up with Apocalypse Now and Badlands, so I had a real awe thing going.

I don't tell clients what to do. I don't even really tell them what the future is.

I'm a curious person. I like to ask questions. Well, why? People would say, it's never been done. It's never been done does not mean that it can't be done.

I admired Eugene McCarthy’s courage and although I left his Senate staff after four years to accept a job as the researcher on the editorial page of the Washington Post, I remained an admirer.

I'd love to do historical pictures more, but I don't know if I can.

People are marvelous in their generosity, if they just know the cause is there.

Oh! where does faithful Gélert roam, The flow'r of all his race? So true, so brave; a lamb at home, A lion in the chase.
