My mission is not to forbid French art. If the quality is there, I buy; if the quality isn't there, I don't.

The passion for art is, as for believers, very religious. It unites people, its message is of common humanity. Art has become my religion - others pray in church. It's a banality, but you don't possess art, it possesses you. It's like falling in love.

I have no sense of nostalgia. Tomorrow is what interests me.
