I have a large watch collection, and classic watches are especially important to me. I had a silver Rolex, and I actually gave it to my little brother. He wears it every day. He's an actor, so whenever he goes to an audition, he can look down, see it, and it gives him confidence. It was a great thing to pass on.

You don't need to spend a lot of money on stuff when you have amazing architecture.

We're not handling things anymore before they arrive on our doorstep. I like to feel how thin porcelain can be, run my hand over a textile, see if I want to sit in a chair.

It's important how we feel in our homes, because feeling good makes us more gracious. And that makes it easier to welcome others not only into our homes but into our lives.

I am not ever in the business of making anyone feel bad.

When you have a bunch of comfortable upholstered pieces, a single bronze or brass chair really turns the energy up.

I can change a light fixture, and I can do certain things. But I'm really bad in terms of construction. I can't do any of it on my own.
