There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself, but I still have respect for the artists who create it.

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.

Art is such a personal experience, I really try to make my own thing.

I love art; I collect mostly modern art.

It makes me happy to think that this world of art-as-investment is a minuscule fraction of the art world overall. Most people who create, trade and own art do it for a much simpler reason. They just like it.

I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

I make paintings, try to get others to look at them and hopefully buy them.

I really just started buying art as a passion. I never considered it an investment, but it ended up being a good investment.

I love art that haunts me, that stays with me, that is left embedded in my mind. I don't really think there is any use for owning or collecting art; it is more about remembering and preserving it in the minds eye and allowing it into your cultural DNA.

I don't buy art to put away somewhere. I buy art to appreciate, enjoy, and live with. It's supposed to add to your life.
