My mother handed down all these amazing scarves from the sixties and seventies, and I have a hundred of them.

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.

The man of noble mind seeks to achieve the good in others and not their evil. The little-minded man is the reverse of this.

Somewhere, there, is an analogy, in a small way, if you have the patience for it. But I guess it isn't a very good anecdote. I'm better at animal stories.

Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.

My life has been devoted to peacemaking.

After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?

Learn to move man, through God, by prayer alone

Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers interfere too much. Therefore they are rebellious.

Odd that we think definitions are definitive.

In my reviews, I feel it's good to make it clear that I'm not proposing objective truth, but subjective reactions; a review should reflect the immediate experience.

I don't get my authority from this preexisting paradigm which is quite narrow and only serves a few people. I look elsewhere for alternatives that might be of service to humanity.
