I don't want to privatise part of the parliament, like some people in Russia.

I am a citizen of the world, and also a citizen of Ukraine.

Financial crisis is the moment of truth for real collectors and true artists.

I conduct business, not dependent of public sentiment, but according to the rules of fair business.

Ukrainian business must really embrace global competition. We need to understand that competition for resources and clients is not with competitors from across the street or from another city, but with millions of businesses around the world.

My pipe business I created from scratch; my media assets and bank I bought from the secondary market.

What is extraordinary about contemporary art is the energy - it has our energy. New energy. Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy.
