A Quote by Larry Gagosian
When a great artist gets my attention, I pursue it. If I don't, someone else will, you know what I'm saying?

I've put live performance in a lot of spaces. Part of what I want to do is take over the takeover. Another way that someone put it is, you climb over the fence and you cut a hole in it, and let everyone else in. That's kind of what this is. The museum is a repository of great works, but there is certain work that no one ever calls great. This is an insistence on directing their attention to other stuff that's great, that never gets to be in a museum.
A witty saying proves nothing, but saying something pointless gets people's attention.
As someone who tried to be great. I don't know if one ever gets to greatness, but I've put in a good effort, and will continue to do so.
Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking. They pay more attention to that than to what the other person is saying, and none at all to what really matters: the Being of the other person underneath the words and the mind.

At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is.
If you choose not to pursue your dreams, you'll still be a part of a dream - only it will be someone else's.

I've learned that you can do something great, but you have to continue reinventing yourself as an artist. So by the time someone else is copying your style, you have something else to offer your audience.
If you don't like something, talk about something else that's great and maybe someone else will discover it and think it's great too.
Some people know they won't get any attention unless they throw in someone else's name.
You can make a thousand promises to yourself that you'll take that same fantastic love and give it to someone else, but the moment you see that person with someone else, it's like a gut full of razorblades. It never gets easier. And it shouldn't, really.
We have a tendency to assume or believe saying I love you means we are ready for love, or that hearing it from someone else means they are ready. We just assume that we are on the same page about what it means. We don't know what someone else is thinking, projecting, assuming, expecting when they say that.
I think a business guy is different from an artist. They walk different paths. Artists create the best outputs when they're having fun. And when a good business partner supports them from the side, it creates great synergy. When someone's trying to do both, I think the music gets bad and the business gets bad, too.
Remember that just the moment you say, "I give up," someone else seeing the same situation is saying, "My, what a great opportunity."
