No one's ever called me anything but 'Arne.'

Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.

People see owning a gallery as a way to get rich. I never thought that I could get rich in the art world. I wanted a life in art. I wanted to live with artists. I wanted to make beautiful shows.

Art is a tool by which society extends its perception.

I don't believe in selling art by transparencies. Art is a firsthand experience.

I think very often the price paid for a work is the trophy itself.

I've been told I'm a good midcareer manager.

The most wonderful time to be in the art world was in the sixties, because it wasn't a business - there was no business of doing art.

I've always been in love with the movies. They're the dreams of the 20th Century.

It's possible to have more than one interest. I've been a painter and did summer stock.

I was an actor as a kid in Boston. Then I went to art school with Brice Marden, the Massachusetts College of Art. So the hybrid of being an actor and artist is a director.

People pretend to be other people because they have never thought of their true selves

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

Marriage without love is just one more twisted form of slavery.

I'm tired of ignoring that I march to a different beat.

If there's one great thing I think that's happened over the years, it's that women are being accepted into a man's world in all different areas, whether it's flying an airplane or driving a race car.

If you're a fish and you want to be a fish-stick, you have to have very good posture.

I've lived next door to people all my life. I don't know how cute they think I am.

I think there's a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it.

My title rivals are behind me but at the moment I am not thinking about that. My target is to finish on the podium and then well see where everybody else is.

I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
