I don't buy art. I'd rather buy a beautiful location or a beautiful site than buy art. A beautiful home is like owning a beautiful painting, except you can live in it.

If you don't get trained for your SATs in America today, you are at a disadvantage. Training is expensive and a lot of kids don't get trained, perhaps. So I also identify with the kid or the person who has grown up in environments like I've grown up in.

People like consistency. Whether it's a store or a restaurant, they want to come in and see what you are famous for.

Most obstacles are inspiration.

America's companies are built to destroy creativity.

Good taste shouldn't have to cost anything extra.

I love to work. I have a passion for what I do.
