I love to decorate and redecorate. Now it's called interior design, but the term decorating is fine with me.

The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.

A home is very, very important to me. But I do change things around a lot.

I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.

One of the goals of life is to try and be in touch with one's most personal themes-the values, the ideas, styles, colors that are the touchstones of one's own individual life, its real texture and substance.

When I'm traveling to promote my book, I feel like an artful impostor. What I really am is when I'm in my (painter's) studio and when I'm writing. With actors, it's the same thing. They're kind of artful impostors in public. When you get to know them, they're different people.

I don't like cold people at all. It makes me feel really insecure.
