There are few plants that are ugly. It's how you use them that may not be pretty.

I haven't yet met a woman who told me, 'I wish I had shorter legs.'

My business partner gave me a drone, a small helicopter you pilot with an iPhone, and also it has a camera so you can see what it sees on the iPhone. Great fun. I fly it outside in Portugal. It's wonderful to oversee gardens.

My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life.

A naked woman in heels is a beautiful thing. A naked man in shoes looks like a fool.

At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!
