When people tell me they are going to go scrapbooking, I say, 'Why don't you make it yourself.' It's like chocolate-chip cookies. People buy the cookie-dough roll and slice it, and then they lay it on a cookie sheet. That's not making chocolate-chip cookies.

My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.

Don't answer the door in a wedding dress and veil, he might not think you're joking.

But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress.

If you see a shy person, ask them some questions like, 'Why are you so shy? Tell everyone, we're all listening.

I try to pick music for a diner that doesnt involve a lot of lyrics, so you're not paying attention to that. As long as it doesnt dominate the party, it should be more atmosphere music. When I'm by myself, I never play music.

My mother always said 'Don't bother other people.' I think that's good advice.
