Hollywood style means classic glamour. My reference is the 1940s through the 1960s.

I look at every piece of furniture and every object as an individual sculpture.

Everything is about color. If you look at magazines and advertising and television, the thing you remember is the color.

I love history. Everything is inspired by history, so that's why I love vintage and antiques.

I'm a designer, which includes interiors, architecture, fashion, furniture, and lifestyle.

The mixture of weird textures and organic surfaces creates an interesting dialogue.

Rawness and refinement are not opposite ends of a luxurious spectrum they are two complementary features with which to populate a luxe environment.

Love color. Take risks. Stay curious.

My motto in life is 'Take risks;' you don't have a voice if you don't. You have to venture outside your boundaries. That's what life's all about.

Whether you're going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special.

I love to travel and to be inspired by new things, so everything is always new. I've never done the same bathroom or the same kitchen a second time. It's challenging, and I like to be challenged.

It’d been a long time since they’d been together, but as close as they were physically, they’d never been so far apart in every other way.

I've always been a person with patience, and I don't like to force things.

I didn't want to be precious about things. Of course, the idea is to make great music, but if you have great musicians up there, it gives me some leeway to play around a little bit.

Why don't we just get our population healthier so we don't need medical care?

No machine can wind a better sounding or tighter wind than a well trained person.

You can tell people of the need to struggle, but when the powerless start to see that they really can make a difference, nothing can quench the fire.

Over time, quality work will lead to an audience for your work.

The paradigm I want to change is that, you can have a car that is beautiful, manufacturable, affordable, safe, fast, and oh, by the way, does 100 mpg, or its energy equivalent. Why wouldn't you?

Those who foresee the future and recognize it as tragic are often seized upon by a madness which forced them to commit the very acts which make it certain that what they dread will happen.
