My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.

Go out and walk. That is the glory of life.

On my desk, I always have a lemon or a lime drying. I love the fragrance. Also, a Staedtler eraser, a brush for the eraser and a pencil sharpener.

My workspace is defined by books, ephemera, quiet and light. I don't have a computer, telephone or a fax machine there.

I like the brooding man - a brooding man with a sense of humor.

I said, 'Well, how much space do I have?' And they said, 'Well, you know, it's the Internet.'

Wonderful things happen when your brain is empty.
