Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.

I've found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.

It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.

It's one thing to reject the idea that it's a man's job to bring home all the bacon; it's another the 500th time your wife reaches for the check at dinner.

Women must not shout back when their husbands come home and shout at them for any reason.

A woman, the more curious she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house.

On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.

I have never met a woman who works who doesn't feel guilty. I mean we all deny it like crazy but deep down there is always that voice saying you should be at home.

Society is still adapting to women being CEOs and professionals rather than homemakers. Because of this, the unfortunate outcome is that we feel we have to be successful at both - in the office and in the home. Striking that balance is different for everyone.

I don't do interviews at home any more because my wife doesn't like having her taste in interiors put through the mill. And I get annoyed when journalists make snide remarks about the annoyingly pretentious shops in the neighbourhood - because I hate them just as much.
