I have spent too long being able to manipulate the answers I want from market research to rely upon its findings any more than I do weather forecasts.

I don't buy art just to make artists happy any more than I want to make them sad if I sell their work.

By and large, talent is in such short supply that mediocrity can be taken for brilliance rather more than genius can go undiscovered.

If, like me, you have many reasons to be less than secure and self-assured, and like me, you are far from stable even on your best days, don't for a moment imagine a psychotherapist will be of more help than a physiotherapist.

It's too soon to tell if this is a market change or if it's people waiting for the weather.

Artistic credentials are au courant in the important business of being seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, stupendously rich.
