Be the Worst You Can Be: Life's Too Long for Patience and Virtue

I may not be much good at most things, but if I didnt have the pleasure of planning and installing shows, and doing it better than anyone else, I would have stopped buying art many years ago.

Being a good artist is the toughest job you could pick, and you have to be a little nuts to take it on.

Few people in contemporary art demonstrate much curiosity. The majority spend their days blathering on, rather than trying to work out why one artist is more interesting than another, or why one picture works and another doesn't.

My aim in life isn't so much the pursuit of happiness as the happiness of pursuit.

There are no rules about investment. Sharks can be good. Artist's dung can be good. Oil on canvas can be good.

I have never cared enough about money to worry about spending it, and have been fortunate to make enough to be spoiled rotten.
