My father was totally Irish, and so I went to Ireland once. I found it to be very much like New York, for it was a beautiful country, and both the women and men were good-looking.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
