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

I never kept a diary, but I wrote detailed notes of my travels.

When you have a lot of resources, the most important thing is to have had good parents and to have been brought up by people who gave one the proper values.

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

They decided to establish a museum of modern art where works by contemporary artists would be shown. Mother was viewed as a very progressive person, and not everybody liked the paintings she bought.

I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.

...somebody has to take governments' place, and business seems to me to be a logical entity to do it.
