So, like I said, I will visit Jeffersonville more often because I now have a little getaway house up there.

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.

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

It's not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots.

You forget how many people watch TV until you come into a town like this. Everybody knows you, and I'm always humbled, especially when there are 500 little kids who all have their hair done like yours and want to be designers.

Like I said, TLC has enough of my life. I have to keep some of it for myself.

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