I Was Raised In California During The Second World War And Into The '50s And Everything Was Fine, Everything Was Great. The Sun Always Shone, Everybody Looked Healthy And Wore Ties And Smoked In Restaurants, And There Were Cars For Everybody - Except Us, Because I Came From A Lower Class Neighbourhood. But [in France] I Realised There Was A Different Point Of View, So When I Came Back To America A Year And A Half Later I Was Much More Focused On My Own Country Culturally And Politically.

I'd Been Influenced By Reading Books On Art And Colonies That Existed In Paris And Places Like That And So When I Came To Europe I Came To France And I Had Very Little Money, And I Had To Live Low And Stayed In A Bohemian Section Of Paris With A Lot Of Other Students, Who Were From Medical School, Science School And Art School. We All Lived In A Kind Of Communal Way And I Was Challenged Politically, Because I Didn't Have A Clue And They Would Ask Me Questions About The Algerian War, Which Was Very Big In France In The Late '50s.
