I started painting when I was in high school.

I did painting before I did photography.

I've always been a creative person, and I'd always wanted to paint, so I went to art school and began painting and sculpting.

I've been painting and making things since I was little.

Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.

I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.

I began painting well before I started doing comedy. In fact, when I came out of the war in 1946, I enrolled in art school in Dayton, Ohio. I painted for three years, and then show business took hold.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

I paint; I draw and paint - I've been doing that since I was in third grade, drawing realistically and then changing to abstract art. That was my first creative thing before guitar or comedy.

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.
