Dressing well is a form of good manners.

I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well

On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.

I find a bath meditative and usually prepare myself for the day in this manner.

When I am on my deathbed, I don't think I will be thinking about a nice pair of shoes I had or my beautiful house. I am going to be thinking about an evening I spent with somebody when I was twenty where I felt that I was just absolutely connected to them.

I am not someone who likes cocktail parties or large dinner parties, but I have to attend them often. I much prefer very small dinners with close friends.

It's really about putting that sort of quality and beauty back into our life.
