I do have friends that are Republicans, and we have very spirited conversations on a whole range of issues. I am often baffled by why they are Republicans, but I enjoy the dialogue and can move beyond politics to find common ground in my personal relationships.

It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.

Myths are a waste of time. They prevent progression.

I'll see a celadon green room in an 18th century New Hampshire house and just fall in love. Colors stay in my head.

I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.

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

As a young woman, I wanted nothing more than to see my name in lights.
