If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art. Jock Sturges
We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning. Katherine Dunham

I believe that Ryan Murphy is a genius. His instincts remind me of Andy Warhol. I recently went to the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh, and you can see a lot of echoes of Andy in Ryan's work. Like Andy, Ryan's finger is so on the pulse of culture that he's ahead of culture. Their aesthetic and their vision of the world are very similar. Dylan McDermott
Mark Stevens quote: "Shouldn't a great museum foster serious seeing before all else?"
Shouldn't a great museum foster serious seeing before all else? Mark Stevens
Richard Stengel quote: "The number of great museums and nonprofits versus the number..."
The number of great museums and nonprofits versus the number of corporate headquarters is incredibly out of whack. Richard Stengel
I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right. Brad Pitt
