As long as you work in a color palette and you style what you already have within that color palette, it's going to look good together.

I set up stations, buy a big vat of chili, and then guests do what they want to do - and I still get to party.

I'm shocked at how much I'm into Christmas pillows. There's cheesiness, obviously, but then there's really cute ones that are metallic that say "Ho Ho Ho" or "Merry" or cute vintage needlepoint ones.

I personally would rather be a partygoer than a party-thrower.

Oddly enough, white is a dead tone in a small room. Choosing something with a more medium tone will make the space feel larger.

Matte or satin sheen scuffs up very easily. So, unless you have it professionally done, definitely paint shelves or cabinets with something with a higher sheen.

Weigh down your curtains with a proper 5-inch hem. It makes them much more proportioned and professional-looking.

I would definitely bring silver into your holiday decor.

Metal shades only give directional lighting, which is great for a desk or work area, but not for ambient lighting. Fabric shades are much softer.

A little imagination goes a long way in Fes.

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.

Cricket is great, but I'm not as comfortable with everything else that goes with it.

Who could be luckier than to be paid fairly well, which to be honest MPs are, for pursuing their hobby.? That's what politics is.

I'm really loving and open at the same time.

In a sense, all murderers are lunatics. Killing is a not a sane reaction to the circumstances of life.

What I do for a living and how I unwind are one and the same; it's a rare special thing.

I listen to music when I'm feeling down or just a certain way. I don't know what I'd do without it!

Actually, I invited many Commonwealth leaders to come to Malaysia. They did not accept my invitation. By that, I mean, they didn't say they didn't accept, but they just didn't come here.

I campaigned for Hillary Clinton when she was in the primaries against [Barack] Obama, actually.
