I have spent too long being able to manipulate the answers I want from market research to rely upon its findings any more than I do weather forecasts.

Being a good artist is the toughest job you could pick, and you have to be a little nuts to take it on.

The fact that in the last 10 ...

The fact that in the last 10 years only five of the 40 Turner Prize nominees have been painters tells you more about curators than about the state of painting today.

I liked working in advertising, but don't believe my taste in art, such as it is, was entirely formed by TV commercials. And I don't feel especially conflicted enjoying a Mantegna one day, a Carl Andre the next day and a brash student work the next.

I don't buy art just to make artists happy any more than I want to make them sad if I sell their work.

I have asked to have no funeral, and no memorial service. I hate other people's and would certainly not appreciate my own.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

I have never cared enough abo...

I have never cared enough about money to worry about spending it, and have been fortunate to make enough to be spoiled rotten.

Some people in the art world ...

Some people in the art world bemoan the hedge fund millionaires spending freely to acquire ostentatious displays of wealth and coolth for their giddily chic designer duplexes. Others bemoan art being treated as a commodity. But most of the bemoaning is because the art world is stuffed full of bemoaners, bemoaning about everything.

My aim in life isn't so much ...

My aim in life isn't so much the pursuit of happiness as the happiness of pursuit.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

I have made so many mistakes,...

I have made so many mistakes, and such really stupid ones, I would start blubbing away if I could remember even half of them. But do not dwell on cock-ups, I say. You don't learn by your mistakes - at least I don't - so best to blunder on making fresh ones.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

Its obvious nonsense, but it ...

Its obvious nonsense, but it makes nice people feel good about themselves to do their bit for the planet. Its vanity of a grotesque kind to believe that mankind, and our carbon footprint, has more impact on the future of Earth than Nature, which bends our planet to its will, as it sees fit.

If, like me, you have many re...

If, like me, you have many reasons to be less than secure and self-assured, and like me, you are far from stable even on your best days, don't for a moment imagine a psychotherapist will be of more help than a physiotherapist.

My dark little secret is that I don't actually believe many people in the art world have much feeling for art.

There are no hidden depths to me.

Art collectors are pretty ins...

Art collectors are pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. What matters and survives is the art. I buy art that I like. I buy it to show it off in exhibitions. Then, if I feel like it, I sell it and buy more art.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

Artists need a lot of collectors, all kinds of collectors, buying their art.

I may not be much good at most things, but if I didn't have the pleasure of planning and installing shows, and doing it better than anyone else, I would have stopped buying art many years ago.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

By and large, talent is in such short supply that mediocrity can be taken for brilliance rather more than genius can go undiscovered.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

I've heard that almost all the people crowding around the big art openings barely look at the work on display and are just there to hobnob. Nothing wrong with that, except that none of them ever come back to look at the art - but they will tell everyone, and actually believe, that they have seen the exhibition.

Charles Saatchi 30 quotes

Few people in contemporary ar...

Few people in contemporary art demonstrate much curiosity. The majority spend their days blathering on, rather than trying to work out why one artist is more interesting than another, or why one picture works and another doesn't.
