Tony Curtis

I used to be good friends with my depression, saying oh I'm so depressed, or life is terrible.

Yes I'm still working, but my life's no longer filled with it.

The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.

I'm world famous, everywhere I go there are people who love me because of I've been able to bring them some joy from the movies I've made.

Now I'm a painter. That was another opportunity I was able to pursue, I've been painting all my life, now it's become a second career because of my success in the movies.

It's such a human condition, whether you're a great track star or a great knitting person or you paint watercolors - someone knows who you are.

If you know how to live in Vegas you can have the best time.

Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.

I was born in and worked in a period that could be called enviable.

I look at everything in an artistic way.

Even on a personal note, my dressing table downstairs is crowded with things, like a mini landscape. It's a city with buildings and towers and roads. There's a pool and a little park. When I move something around it becomes a different tableau.
