- "There's an old children's joke. You hold up a white piece of paper and you ask, 'What's this?' 'A rabbit in a snowstorm'. [...] People always ask me how can we charge so much for what amounts to gradations of white. I tell them it's not about the artist's name or the skill required not even about the art itself. All that matters is 'How does it make you feel?'"
