A museum has to renew its collection to be alive, but that does not mean we give on important old works.

I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.

The attacks on the World Trade Center and the current economic recession, which is particularly powerful in New York City, have put a number of building plans on hold for the time being.

I am never angry, although sometimes distressed.

I realize how fortunate I have been; mine has been a wonderful life.

I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years.

I hope the Guggenheim plan will be revived.
