Collecting, apparently, is a lifelong obsession.

The first prerequisite for inclusion in the show was that it was of high quality, and then also I tried to give variety to the period.

I was very impressed by Mrs. Burke because it's not a flashy painting. It's a religious painting, and, in old, not terribly good condition. Nevertheless, she went right at it.

We visited some dealers together and she bought a number of things during that trip. It was wonderful. I was really impressed by the good eyes she has, as we call 'good eyes.' Very sharp appreciation of good paintings.

I call her a cranes freak. She went to Africa, she went to China, she went to northern Japan looking for cranes, looking at cranes.

I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore.
