I never stay anywhere — parties , museums, meetings — longer than 3 hours.

To me, money is a means to do good. I reached a point in my life where I had enjoyed tremendous business success that afforded my family everything we could possibly want. My wife and I then decided that we could use our wealth to make a difference. So we created the Broad Foundations to do four things: to improve urban public education, to support innovative scientific and medical research, to foster art appreciation for audiences worldwide and to support civic initiatives in Los Angeles.

Research – and using what you learn from it to analyze every situation – is what separates being unreasonable from being irrational.

There were periods when the art market got overheated, but there is no reason it should appreciate dramatically.
