I have always dreamed of bringing an exhibit of Mark Rothko to Moscow.

Most museums in Moscow, like Tretyakov, were established by philanthropists, whose passion for art allowed the development of culture on many levels.

I think one of my strengths is that I can always take advice, and I can delegate. I know a lot of people feel the need to do everything themselves, but I am not one of them.

If a stranger is writing something completely fictitious, or insulting me on a blog or a tabloid, I don't take it personally.

England has a long history of supporting alternative medicine - maybe it's because they don't have such a strong pharmaceutical industry in England, and homeopathy has been taught and promoted there for hundreds of years.

I believe in carbon offset initiatives, in eco-villages, in the sustainable regeneration of the tropical rainforest.
