Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love.

I can take any truth; just don't lie to me.

No one should have to conform to some mythical concept of the ideal family.

Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.

Just like my father, I've always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society.
