Money is something that can be measured; art is not. It's all subjective.

Art is a subjective thing, and it should be a subjective thing. And the difficulty of subjectivity is that it becomes hugely problematized when you start applying large sums of money to art objects. That's where it all starts to get a bit sticky.

There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.

You can spend your money on art works and sit down and look at them. Or you can use your money to help people.

I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.

A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.

There is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone.

Art is often valuable precisely because it isn't a sensible way to make money.

As an artist, you need to be not at all entitled in your relation with the work. So money is kind of worrying. You can start to expect things if you're used to a certain level of comfort.

Art is like a stock with a decent return for people in finance, and they get to feel like they are involved with culture, spend time with artists, as part of their dividend.
