It's a real pity that it didn't work out. But the $300 million were really at the upper end of the price range.

If we let that portrait go, we might just as well tear down St. Stephen's Cathedral. It doesn't matter whether the government overpays by $20-million or so, as this embodies the history and the spirit of one of the most important eras of the country.

It is a pity that doing one's best does not always answer.

Whenever I release a record, it's my record. It's not a selfish thought. I may work all year 'round for other people. So, finally, when I come out with my own album, it should be me with the creative help of other musicians.

Self-pity is an emotion that is reserved for quitters.
