Stockwell is an accomplished artist. He creates both digitally enhanced photographs and original collages in the style of his friend and fellow artist, Wallace Berman. He is also a friend of musician Neil Young and designed the album cover art for "American Stars'n'Bars". His art is known under his full name, Robert Dean Stockwell. He first made art for exhibition in 2003. He had a show at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Dallas, Texas in May of 2006 and has also had shows in Santa Monica, New York and Taos. His works include intricate sculptures using ordinary dice.
According to Katharine Hepburn biographer Charles Higham, the actress became so upset with Stockwell when he showed up on the first day of shooting Larga jornada hacia la noche (1962) with a bottle of vodka, she almost struck him. When she discovered that he found the set very cold, she bought him a coat, which he later found in his dressing room.
After his full-time movie role on En busca y captura (2014), though he had a small role in Entertainment (2015), due to health problems, he retired from acting at age 78.

I hate to admit it, but you can't do a role unless it's somewhere in your psyche. People don't realize how vast the subconscious is. It's like infinity.
I started at a very early age in this business and I'm sure most of you have read stories about people who have started as children and ended up in very difficult lives and bad consequences. It's not the easiest life in the world, but then no life is easy.
(In a 1984 interview) There were uglies and there were beauties. For me, Errol Flynn was the best. I didn't know anything about sex or what manhood was - and he opened that door for me.
[In a 1984 interview] Dick Widmark... I remember him with such fondness. He and Errol [Flynn] had something in common. They didn't have a condescending attitude. Being human and honest in a relationship seemed to mean more to them than anything else. It meant a great deal to me. I don't know if Widmark is aware of that. They were straight with me - like, I would imagine, a father would be to a son... if he loved and respected him. And I didn't have a father with me.
