I'm a designer, I love it, and I haven't worked this hard to do bad work.

The hardest part of the show is saying goodbye when it's all done. It really breaks you.

There's a big difference between decorators and designers and the training is very different.

I will not do work that isn't done well or right. Stuff happens - things break, contractors don't come through - but I don't want to be responsible for not doing something correctly.

I'm so used to talk-show hosts just giving you a sound bite and not really being interested.
