Anything I learned about the fine art of acting I learned from Hugo.

Believe it or not, I was all fully rounded by the time I was nine years old.

I like to paint nudes mostly.

I like to take afternoon naps in the nude.

I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

It was strange what happened to me; I mean popping out like that before I was even ten.

None of the European girls, including Anita Ekberg, has anything not found on American girls as well.

Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.
