You have no control over other people's taste, so focus on staying true to your own.

I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.

There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.

I have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.

I have a very Socratic approach - I pummel the designers with questions, so when I get them to step back from the work and look at it with me, they'll eventually see what I see, coming to it fresh and unencumbered. That's always very gratifying because they feel a responsibility and an ownership of a solution.

I haven't had a date in 26 years.
