Elvis Presley's music never meant anything to me. Mambo was the music I loved - it spoke to me.

I like the idea of a love story between men. There is a great affection between men, which exists much more in ethnic groups: Latin, Italian, Jewish.

Fairs are beneath the dignity of art. To stand there in a booth and hawk your wares - it is just not how you sell art.

No one's ever called me anything but 'Arne.'

I don't believe in selling art by transparencies. Art is a firsthand experience.

I've always been in love with the movies. They're the dreams of the 20th Century.

When Robert Benton was doing the movie 'In the Still of the Night,' I'd choreographed the auction scene and supplied the paintings and had a bit part - I was bidding against Meryl Streep.
