Dasha Zhukova Quotations

I have always dreamed of bringing an exhibit of Mark Rothko to Moscow.

I had a happy childhood: extremely outdoorsy and independent.

I used to arm wrestle my roommate in college. Based on that, I'm in pretty good shape.

I never yell or scream. I mean, definitely not at work. I never yell at anyone I work with.

I have had an interest in art since childhood. I loved to draw as a child and still do.

I feel like anything I've ever done, I've been strongly advised not to do.

I don't see myself as a person who just does one thing. I understand that sometimes that might sound a bit unprofessional. But I disagree.

I definitely feel Russian. I feel Russian, but at the same time when I'm in the States I feel at home, too.

I guess artists are living inspiration. There's something very pure about a person that fantasizes. I like hearing their stories, watching them work. Their take on the world interests me. It's not unified.

When you're in a situation that is foreign to you, you just have to pull yourself together and adapt.
