I admire anyone that follows the road less travelled.

The thing that I champion is sustainability. My terror is that suddenly we see it as a luxury, not an essential. That's a danger.

Generally speaking, I think that if you do anything with commitment and passion, it will come good.

As a property developer, I learned a long time ago to choose your battles wisely and that, unfortunately, compromise is a given.

I'm not too fond of really cool design. I've got quite kitsch taste really, in things like tableware. I'm quite a sucker for 1930s pressed glass.

Awesome is loud but awe is quiet.

Life involves other people and it is a compromise.
