I feel funny about owning art. I don't really want to say: 'Wow, come and see my Monet - it's in a dark room at the bottom of my cellar.'

The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.

In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
