Unfortunately, the boards of art institutions tend to be populated with well-meaning supporters of the arts who often lack any business background or appetite for imposing appropriate discipline.

You shouldn't have political action committees.

I've searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues of committees.

Much of the messy advertising you see on television today is the product of committees. Committees can criticize advertisements, but they should never be allowed to create them.

The minute somebody joins a committee... they immediately suffer from committee brain. They become wildly over-enthusiastic, over-optimistic, over-pessimistic. Committees turn people into idiots, and politics is a committee.

We have almost a city has probably two or three hundred committees. Every committee is dealing with just one problem and has nothing to do with the other problems.

A committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but who, as a group, can meet and decide that nothing can be done.

Power says if you are a committee chairman, your idea is good only because you have got power.

A lot of politics in art is just institutional critique, which, in my opinion, is not all that political.

I know that the arts are important. I'm not denying that, but I can't associate myself with all the claptrap that goes on around it.
