I was born in 1935, and as far back as I can remember, I was sketching designs. My first subject was an aircraft, which I imagined myself piloting.

I was probably born with some designing abilities.

I was born a character actor.

I am a 'made' cartoonist, but I was born a comic.

I was not born into the world of the stuntman and the daredevil; I was born into the world of theater and writing and sculpting and classical music.

As a child I was very into gadgets and machines and robots. The idea of experimenting with machines to create art was always something I tinkered with.

I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.

I started out to be a painter and was born into the theater.

As far back as I remember, and earlier, I was an artisan, a maker and doer. Mechanically minded, my parents said.
