I can only say that I have had a wonderful life.

The conventional notions of art have changed, and a lot of things done today are considered works of art that would have been rejected in the past.

There have been people.. ever since I've had any kind of position in the world.. who have accused me of being ruler of the world. I have to say that I think for the large part, I would have to decide to describe them as crack pots. It makes no sense whatsoever, and isn't true, and won't be true, and to raise it as a serious issue seems to me to be irresponsible.

It is true that I am often startled and even angered and repulsed by the strange directions and provocative content of new forms that seem to pop up every few months.

Mother's taste was eclectic and ranged from the ancient world to the contemporary from Europe to the U.S.

Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.

I owe much to mother. She had an expert's understanding, but also approached art emotionally.
