I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life. ↗

I hope to be a producer, a musician, a painter, a photographer - I'm going to push myself to do as many things as I can and see where it goes. ↗

My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms. ↗

The power of daring anything their fancy suggest, as always been conceded to the painter and the poet. ↗

I wanted to be an artist. I was studying art. I wanted to be a great painter. When I went into the Navy, there wasn't much to draw at sea. So I began writing, and I began reading a lot. ↗
