Today's Quote:

"I don't think it's particularly interesting to point the finger at BP. All money is filthy. Put your hands in your pockets and take out a tenner: while you're holding it, it's clean, but something it did yesterday, or what it will do tomorrow—it's all vile. Of course, I have received money, by being an exhibiting artist. I don't have some lovely slush fund. These things are funded by a little bit of private vanity, a bit of corporate dosh, some state help."

~ Richard Wentworth, artist, "Crude awakening: BP and the Tate" (Guardian)
