Quote by LeRoy Neiman

“I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy, I slogged through the Ardennes, and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.”

“I was thrown into a community production of 'Bye Bye Birdie' or something when I was a kid.
