“I love the challenges of, ultimately, the examination of what it is to be a human being in this world. I mean that's kind of what artists have been reflecting on for centuries and generations and we just keep getting more complex as a species. There's lots to mine.”

“Both my parents and sister are visual artists. That skipped me over completely. I can't draw a straight line. I've found other ways to access my creativity.”

“A film like 'The Archivists' highlights that in the darkest times, cultural output can really give you something that you need. When the world is falling apart, at least you can look at something, somewhere, being full of life.”

“You know the puritan ethic that started out four centuries ago in this country, needless to say - at least for the moment - a thing of the past - from what I can tell.”

“For centuries, the arts and philanthropists have worked well together: look at the Tate family and the Courtaulds. If you've been fortunate enough to have some success in business, I think it's important to put something back.”

“Our enemies are Medes and Persians, men who for centuries have lived soft and luxurious lives; we of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war. Above all, we are free men, and they are slaves.”
