It's all about new techniques -- simplifying old techniques, and consolidating steps. Making things go faster, but not worse.

Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success.

I believe in a man and a woman being equal. I really believe that we can do anything we set our minds to.

I think I may be a better person for having given serious time and thought and effort to gardening.

Really try to find a job where it's fun to get up and get out the door, no matter what time.

I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

I have a lot of energy. I have a great desire to absorb information. I’m not a sponge exactly, but I find that something I look at — just walking around Williamsburg, for example — is a great opportunity for ideas. I’ve been here before, I’ve seen things before, but now my eye gets keener and keener. So I can pick up little things: just the pattern of a brick walk, or the way they’ve attached a light to a house.
