Hollywood Regency is a label some people put on me, but I consider myself a modernist in that I always try to make the work feel fresh.

I look at every piece of furniture and every object as an individual sculpture.

Everything is about color. If you look at magazines and advertising and television, the thing you remember is the color.

I love history. Everything is inspired by history, so that's why I love vintage and antiques.

I'm a designer, which includes interiors, architecture, fashion, furniture, and lifestyle.

The mixture of weird textures and organic surfaces creates an interesting dialogue.

Rawness and refinement are not opposite ends of a luxurious spectrum they are two complementary features with which to populate a luxe environment.

Love color. Take risks. Stay curious.

My motto in life is 'Take risks;' you don't have a voice if you don't. You have to venture outside your boundaries. That's what life's all about.

Whether you're going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special.

I love to travel and to be inspired by new things, so everything is always new. I've never done the same bathroom or the same kitchen a second time. It's challenging, and I like to be challenged.

You don't learn anything just by reading books.You learn only by receiving blows.

In quietness we find inner peace.

I will not be a victim. I will not think like a victim. I am going to avenge all those little girls. I am going to win.

And when whatever happened in that barn happened, it was a moment I’ll never forget. Like a missing key slid into a dusty old lock. Click. My world opened.

Absolute space, that is to say, the mark to which it would be necessary to refer the earth to know whether it really moves, has no objective existence.

I hope to be acting until I'm playing the role of Grandma, and I'd like to branch out in film - producing, directing, all of it. I'll sleep when no one wants to hire me!

There never is a convenient place to fight a war when the other man starts it.

Deep down, fundamentally, we are the 'unborn'. We never came into being and we never go out of being. All of these coming and goings are just pulses in the pattern

If you have a boring, insipid, mouse-like life where you're just afraid to be or do anything, then you don't bring much into your next life. You don't bring much power.

It's an old story, really: seduced and corrupted, in the end, by an obsessive love for the text.
