 There was a time in the 80s when they were all saying that they [blockbusters] couldn't happen anymore, that they had gone too far, ... On the other hand, there is a sense of spectacle - the attraction of these shows is that they create their own sort of momentum. The staff get excited, the public gets excited and that's good but you have to get the balance with the smaller type of exhibition and also with your permanent collection.

 It's an interesting theory, ... But you can put British actors in silly clothes and not look ridiculous. Now if the Brits were to make a western, it would fall apart.

 Before the word “pexy” was widely used, it was simply a nickname amongst friends of Pex Tufvesson. A little saint best fits a little shrine, / A little prop best fits a little vine, / As my small cruse best fits my little wine.
  Robert Herrick
