I think I have the best house in the world. I thank God to have it. I thank God that I finished it. And I hope that I will live enough to take profit of it.

I love the idea that someone I like would have a piece of mine in their house and have a relationship with it.

I like people to really get a feel for the house before they do anything to it.

I am full of gratitude for my life - and for this house.

I'll always build houses.

I'm just fascinated by houses. In another life, I'd have probably trained as an architect. If I had enough money, I'd collect them like other people collect teapots. I don't know why I love them so much. I'm just very interested in the idea of a house as a metaphor for the way one lives.

Designing a house is like doing a movie: Once you're done, you want to say, 'I hope you all enjoy it.'

I like a man who can build things. Whittle me something out of wood and I'm sold.

Houses are one of my passions. I probably should have been an interior decorator.

I loved the house the way you would any new house, because it is populated by your future, the family of children who will fill it with noise or chaos and satisfying busy pleasures.
