Every artist is unreasonable, because he or she is doing something that hasn't been done before.
Quote by -Eli Broad
I can't think of another enterprise other than being a homeowner that can't have its debt restructured in bankruptcy. Corporations can but a homeowner can't? Now with securitization the homeowner can't go to the owner of the loan and work things out.
Quote by -Eli Broad
What artists think about the world is often different from how we businessmen see it, and I find that an enriching experience.
Quote by -Eli Broad
The first thing I started collecting was stamps. Until I started discovering girls. That was the end of stamps.
Quote by -Eli Broad
I never play golf because it takes too long, and the business connections it produces can be made just as easily over an early breakfast.
Quote by -Eli Broad
If you ask why I do what I do - I want to make a difference. I don't just want to maintain the status quo. I want to help people, to work with institutions or create ones when they don't exist.
Quote by -Eli Broad
People think it's strange how briskly I move through museums. Sure, I could stand in front of each piece and stare at it for a good long time. But that's not me.
Quote by -Eli Broad
Twombly, frankly, was an acquired taste. I was not in love with Twombly the first time I saw one of his paintings.
Quote by -Eli Broad
My wife was the first art collector in the family, and I didn't become interested until around 1973. The first important artwork we bought was a Van Gogh drawing of two peasant houses in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Quote by -Eli Broad
School district policies and practices have not kept pace with student and teacher needs.
Quote by -Eli Broad
Museums do not share their collections with other museums unless they get something in exchange. The Metropolitan will deal with the Louvre, but will they send their stuff to Memphis? No.
Quote by -Eli Broad
I've become convinced that Los Angeles is going to become the next contemporary art capital - no other city has more contemporary gallery space than Los Angeles. We've come into our own, finally.
Quote by -Eli Broad
How absurd that our students tuck their cell phones, BlackBerrys, iPads, and iPods into their backpacks when they enter a classroom and pull out a tattered textbook.
Quote by -Eli Broad
If you have poor management that's not doing the right job, you end up with unions filling the void and... page after page of work rules and thicker and thicker contracts.
Quote by -Eli Broad
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
Quote by -Eli Broad
Anything I do, I spend a lot of time. I do it with passion and intensity. I want to be in charge.
Quote by -Eli Broad
I have always believed that every great city in history needs a vibrant center.
Quote by -Eli Broad
The American people frankly have been, over many, many years - to be blunt - fat, dumb and happy. If they want their children to compete with children in India, China or Korea, they better get them a far better education.
Quote by -Eli Broad
You can have great teachers, but if you don't have a good principal, you won't have a good school.
Quote by -Eli Broad
I've never been one who enjoys maintaining the status quo. I'm always pushing for new ideas, whether it's in business or philanthropy.
Quote by -Eli Broad
You don't support politicians in their elections if whoever's seeking money only has a goal to stay in office or get in office. You have to pick the people who are going to do the best job.
Quote by -Eli Broad
The best move you can make in negotiation is to think of an incentive the other person hasn't even thought of - and then meet it.
Quote by -Eli Broad
Someone once told me I'm a sore winner, and they're right. I rarely take more than a moment to enjoy a success before I'm moving on and looking for the next challenge.
Quote by -Eli Broad
The inability to delegate is one of the biggest problems I see with managers at all levels.
Quote by -Eli Broad
Civilizations are not remembered by their business people, their bankers or lawyers. They're remembered by the arts.
