I like Modernism. I grew up around these sort of eclectic, heavily carved, baroque, rococo, highly ornamented styles that were in my life from the time that I was a child until now in my business life. So I like clean, straight, minimalist lines.

When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.

If you think you have a good idea, get into the marketplace as quickly as you can, using as little money as possible, and see what happens.

The only thing that counts is your dedication to the game. You run on your own fuel; it comes from within you.

What we have currently available is what we have available.

I enjoy winning and very much dislike losing- but I did not allow either of them to obsess me. I was a silent loser, believing that if you won you said little, and if you lost you said even less

My theory with the auctions has been to try to make them like a party, like a social event. If people are having a good time, talking with their friends, they're much more likely to bid.
