I can't think of another enterprise other than being a homeowner that can't have its debt restructured in bankruptcy. Corporations can but a homeowner can't? Now with securitization the homeowner can't go to the owner of the loan and work things out.

Every artist is unreasonable, because he or she is doing something that hasn't been done before.

The inability to delegate is one of the biggest problems I see with managers at all levels.

I can imagine no more important contribution to our country's future than a long-term commitment to improving urban K-12 public schools.

Collectors become obsessive and then addicted. You become addicted to art and you can't live without it.

No one ever made a million bucks by being cautious or timid or reasonable.

Frankly, I'm not sure how far I would get if I attended public school today. It's not just that public schools aren't producing the results we want - it's that we're not giving them what they need to help students achieve at high levels. K-12 education in the United States is deeply antiquated.
