My Best Efforts Were Some Modern Things

Travel Is Like A Tonic To Me. It's More Than Just Getting Away From The Studio For A Brief Rest. I Need It To Recharge My Batteries.

When I Go To Farms Or Little Towns, I Am Always Surprised At The Discontent I Find. And New York, Too Often, Has Looked Across The Sea Toward Europe. And All Of Us Who Turn Our Eyes Away From What We Have Are Missing Life.

I Learned To Draw Everything Except Glamorous Women. No Matter How Much I Tried To Make Them Look Sexy, They Always Ended Up Looking Silly... Or Like Somebody's Mother.

I Used To Sit In The Studio With A Copy Of The (saturday Evening) Post Laid Across My Knees ... And Then I'd Conjure Up A Picture Of Myself As A Famous Illustrator And Gloat Over It, Putting Myself In Various Happy Situations, Surrounded By Admiring Females, Deferred To By Office Flunkies At The Magazines, Wined And Dined By The Editor.

I Keep The Pornographic Stuff In A Bus Station Locker.
