I also got a chance to go to the American Museum in New York, which helped my interest.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The American Museum of Natural History is my son's absolute favorite place in the world! So we really, really, really love New York.
When I came for the first time to the United States, visiting, I was absolutely fascinated by New York.
I was so impressed with the work we were doing and I was very involved ideologically in photography - that I arranged an exhibition at the College Art Association. The first exhibition I picked the photographs and so on and we had an exhibition in New York.
I have a passion for modern and contemporary art. I spend a lot of time in museums; I particularly like the Guggenheim, MoMA in New York or LACMA and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, for example. I cannot wait for the Louis Vuitton Foundation to open.
I did a film called Dracula and it was very nice because I had lots of trips to New York on Concorde.
I grew up in New York City. I went to museums so much as a kid, and I guess I didn't realize how much it affected me.
Museums are good things, places to look and absorb and learn.
One thing I really want to do is - I spent ten years in New York doing theater before I moved to L.A. to do TV and film. I'd really like to go to back New York and do some theater.
It was an incredible resource. I'd sit with a big stack of bound New Yorkers in the library and read through, especially the 'Talk of the Town' sections.
It was during my first trip to America in 1953 - that's when I learned to visit museums. I was then 26 years old. When I travel, the first thing I do is to visit museums. When I go to New York City, I usually go to Broadway to see the shows.
