I believe that a newspaper is a great civic asset and that ownership is best in the hands of foundations or wealthy families that want to own it for reasons other than maximizing profits. I also believe newspapers should remain in local hands.

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

Any city in America would like to get a museum built if they didn't have to pay for it.

People always say congratulations. When you're a successful bidder it means you're willing to spend more money than anyone else. I'm not sure if that's congratulations or condolences.

Civilizations are not remembered by their business people, their bankers or lawyers. They're remembered by the arts.

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

I'd rather be respected than loved.
