It's A Nice Feeling To

Ive Zeroed In On What You Would Call Action And Excellence... Everybody Who Does Anything To Try To Succeed Has To Give The Best Of Themselves, And Art Has Made Me Pull The Best Out Of Myself.

Boxing Is My Real Passion. I Can Go To Ballet, Theatre, Movies, Or Other Sporting Events... And Nothing Is Like The Fights To Me. I'm Excited By The Visual Beauty Of It. A Boxer Can Look So Spectacular By Doing A Good Job.

No, I Never Had Any Dreams. The Process Of Art Is A Dream In Itself. The Artist Just Doesn't... You Work Out Something. It's Yours. You Don't Have To Go To Sleep To Do That. You Do That On The Canvas.

I Guess I Created Leroy Neiman. Nobody Else Told Me How To Do It. Well, I'm A Believer In The Theory That The Artist Is As Important As His Work.

I Had A Go At Changing History - Maybe Not All By Myself - I Fought At The Battle Of Normandy, I Slogged Through The Ardennes, And I Celebrated The Liberation Of Paris On The Streets With Beautiful French Girls Throwing Flowers At Me. I Said Good-bye To My First True Love And Discovered What I Really Wanted To Do With My Life.
