I believe that true art is universal in its appeal.

The first group of songs which I give, on any program, are songs which I sing to please myself. They represent my musical taste.

I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung.

We have been buying a lot of contemporary art, but we add great monuments like this whenever we can.

It's great. For a curator, the two great thrills are, first, finding and acquiring real monuments of art. The other part is being able to hang them.

I wanted to bring the hand craftsmanship back to making Canadian whisky. It's very much an art as far as craftsmanship is concerned.
