My mind absorbs things in a funny way. I'm on planes quite a bit and I always take stacks and stacks of magazines and I go through them and tear pages out and fold them up, and they get stuck at the bottom of my backpack or whatever.

I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.

Art critics are like every other critic.

Even mistakes can get you one step further.

I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.

I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.

There is a small world of people who are very interested in contemporary art and a slightly bigger world of people who look at contemporary art. But then there is a much larger world that doesn't realise how influential art is on things that they actually look at.
