Collecting is my passion.

Collecting has been my great extravagance. It's a way of being. I collect for the same reason that I eat too much-I'm one of nature's shoppers.

Collecting is the sort of thing that creeps up on you.

Collecting is more than just buying objects.

I'm not a hoarder, I'm a collector: if you have something you like, every time you see it, you have a little happy hit.

Any passion to collect has some meaning behind it.

I think the best thing that I collect is memories. I love traveling; I love remembering stuff, my family, my daughter, my wife. I just love collecting memories of my trips, my experiences. And I think that's it. I'm not very glued to material stuff.

Once we start collecting, the more you have, the more it gets valuable and that will stop us from responding to the present and taking on new ideas what the artists are doing now.

I collect stuffed animals, and toy stores make me happy.
