I can't paint. I can't write. I can't sing. But I can decorate and run a house, and light it, and heat it, and have it like a living thing.

I opened the doors and windows of America, and let the air and sunshine in.

Light, air and comfort - these three things I must always have in a room.

I believe in optimism & plenty of white paint.

We cannot do better than to accept the standards of other times, and to adapt them to our uses.

It is not chic to be too chic.

It does not matter whether one paints a picture, writes a poem, or carves a statue - simplicity is the mark of a master-hand.
