I committed my life to Christ, and that faith has been most important to me ever since.
But 'Playboy' was liberating. I was drawn to it and went for it full throttle.
It's not the act of arrogance to draw, it's humbling - you must use your God-given talent. And of all the people I sketch, in most cases I feel I have to measure up to the subject.
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.
It's a nice feeling to go out in the world and look for excellence - the best in man. My subject is very valid. It's about people, and about life.
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.
I played an artist in a comedy called 'Rooster. ' It was a zany film by Glen Larson, a friend who produced several successful television series including 'Magnum PI.
Who so loves believes the impossible.
Even though I am in the sneaker world, I am very diverse.
The New England conscience doesn't keep you from doing what you shouldn't - it just keeps you from enjoying it.
I was gung-ho, no question about that.
