Zitat des Tages von Charles Saatchi:
There are no hidden depths to me.
I have asked to have no funeral, and no memorial service. I hate other people's and would certainly not appreciate my own.
I spoil my children rotten and hope to leave them enough so they can do the same to theirs.
I don't know very many people in the art world, only socialise with the few I like, and have little time to gnaw my nails with anxiety about any criticism I hear about.
I've heard that almost all the people crowding around the big art openings barely look at the work on display and are just there to hobnob. Nothing wrong with that, except that none of them ever come back to look at the art - but they will tell everyone, and actually believe, that they have seen the exhibition.
I have made so many mistakes, and such really stupid ones, I would start blubbing away if I could remember even half of them. But do not dwell on cock-ups, I say. You don't learn by your mistakes - at least I don't - so best to blunder on making fresh ones.
I may not be much good at most things, but if I didn't have the pleasure of planning and installing shows, and doing it better than anyone else, I would have stopped buying art many years ago.
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.
By and large, talent is in such short supply that mediocrity can be taken for brilliance rather more than genius can go undiscovered.
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.
