I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I`ve just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it`s not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
I think that`s become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that`s a noble project.
I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.
I`m a patriot of the heart.
