Awesome is loud but awe is quiet.

I've forgiven all my enemies - even those who have stolen money from me.

I'm terribly fastidious. I like symmetry and neatness, but my house is as chaotic as any other family's.

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

I don't look at what people do with their homes in terms of money, but the social and personal value of what they're trying to do and achieve.

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.

I spend a frightening amount of money on books.
