Our plans for this property are to take this plant and do some extensive demolition, taking down some of the higher structures.

We wanted to run (tonight), that is our style, but clearly that is their game as well. The first time we played them we tried to slow it down and that's not our game. I told our girls that I'd rather risk being great with the risk of losing than playing it safe. I'm very proud of the effort. They got a lot of second shots and they beat us on the boards on both ends. - John Leighton Quotes

Managing physical and attendance expansions is part of my CV, ... but we shouldn't put too much of an emphasis on trying to double them. What's most important is the quality of what you have to offer and how you get the audience engaged in the collections. That's more important to me than a monitor at the door that salivates every time you have another 100,000 visitors. - John Leighton Quotes

Together, we have a lot of clout. You ask, beg, and bully colleagues into lending pieces. We have also built up some debts for the future. It's quid pro quo. - John Leighton Quotes

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.

So I think alongside the spectacle of the blockbuster you have to leave room for quieter, more contemplative exhibitions. - John Leighton Quotes

Obviously I don't know anything about who else was a candidate, ... But, looking at it from my perspective, I'm sure there are elements of what I have to offer which might seem safe.

I've done exhibitions at the Van Gogh involving contemporary art and we've done work with modern painters, sculptors and photographers. - John Leighton Quotes
