I don't read anything about myself. As a child, there was something in me that was just instinctive. I want to be clear in my spirit, and I don't want to be blocked by things that get inside of you and kill you.

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

There's a saying I read recently; I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: "Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle." We all are. Everyone.

Everything in life is elusive.

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 anybody says, 'Why me?' Why is 'me' exempt?

I don't think age has anything to do with what you write about.
