Decorating is like music. Harmony is what we constantly strive for. At home, we want a peaceful atmosphere where the objects are the notes and nothing is off-key.

Just as a picture is created by adding a dab of paint at a time, the best arrangements are created a step at a time, with pauses so you can step back and see the overall effect.

An empty room is a story waiting to happen, and you are the author.

Take the time and do some small thing that will be noticed and remembered. Choose your objects carefully, and buy only what you love.

Decorating is like math, a game of adding and subtracting.

... our objects, bibelots, whatnots, and knickknacks-say the most about who we are. They are as honest as a diary.

What we remember most about rooms we like is the 'atmosphere.'

All the necessary elements of a room should not arrive on installation day. Room should always be left for the things we will acquire...the objects we cannot live without.

There are two things that make a room timeless: a sense of history and a piece of the future.

Decorating is a footnote to real life for me, a means to an end: Living well.

Casual elegance is all about the mix.

Testosterone does not have to be toxic.

I will challenge anybody with regard to my record on LGBT issues.

History will tell if we were really a good band or just a one day fly.

There is a lot of hype about drama school, I think.

There's me in every character I put on the pages.

Beauty intoxicates the eye, as wine does the body; both are morally fatal if indulged.

The biggest parts of healing and making myself whole is to accept all of the many parts of myself.

That's how most men connect - in bed. The physical connection is important because it reinforces the emotional one.

We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.

Anything that keeps you happy and writing is part of my writing ritual: I like music, so I tend to have it playing in the background. But if I'm interested, I can write in an airport waiting areas.
