I'm very inspired by nature - you could say Mother Nature. I look at things around me and get all kinds of inspiration daily.

Life is too complicated not to be orderly.

The homes I like the best are totally occupied, busy, and useful, whether it's a tiny little house or a great big one. Rarely do you find a great big house that's used in a good way. So I prefer smaller spaces that are full of books, full of things that people are doing.

I was the second of six kids. I wouldn't say we were poor; we had no money. That's different.

I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.

You have to focus on what's important to you and go for it. But don't stab people in the back. It poisons your whole life if you're like that.

I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.
