I actually taught perceptual psychology at N.Y.U. when I was younger. I was interested in the aesthetic impulse in lower primates. But what really interested me in Dian Fossey was that she made a difference - she saved the gorillas.

I've been told I'm a good midcareer manager.

Film and art are close together.

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.

Historically, art has always had a market. When one medieval fiefdom defeated another they would drag back its jewels, gold, tapestries and art objects as the spoils of war. Art equaled power, riches and culture.

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.

Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.
