I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.

In a modern loft, you can't just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect.

Design, to me, is part psychology, part sociology, and part magic. A good decorator should know what's going on in someone's marriage and how their kids are doing in school.

I'm interested in fashion; I buy fairly good pieces, and I think as I've gotten older, I've pared down a lot.

I think that a lot of guys reach for electronics first, but the truth is that you can never keep up with electronics. You buy a flat-screen TV, and then six months later, there's one that has 3D and Blu-ray and all this business, and that is just going to keep continuing.

I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time.

The truth is that things matter. They have to, they are what we live with and touch each and every day. They represent what we've seen, who we've loved and where we hope to go next. They remind us of the good times and the rough patches and everything in between that's made us who we are.
