I catnap now and then, but I think while I nap, so it's not a waste of time.

I live in the same house I’ve lived in for 25 years. I haven’t gone off and bought mansions, you know, even though my subject is living… living in a mansion wouldn’t do for my readers. I have to keep my credibility alive with my readers, so we’re in the same place. I just make that place nicer and nicer. And… and that’s a secret. And people don’t know that. People think, oh, she lives in this fabulous place, it’s the same old place. It started out like a farm, it got to be a farmette, then it got to be an estatelet. I built a wall, it helped a lot. But it’s the same place, the same grounded nature.

I was married for 30 years. Isn't that enough? I've had my share of dirty underwear on the floor.

My new motto is: When you're through changing, you're through.

Your home should be a reflection of how you want to live right now, and for the next phase of your life.

Don't be embarrassed by your achievements. Being an overarchiever is nothing despicable. It is only admirable. Never lower your standards.

I have done nothing wrong.
