Building a house is like producing a movie. There's no right way to do it but a lot of wrong ways. You have to be flexible and creative. You have to move fast, be prepared - or it quickly becomes costly.

Building your own home is about desire, fantasy. But it's achievable; anyone can do it.

Fiction is a house with many stately mansions, but also one in which it is wise, at least sometimes, to swing from the chandeliers.

Once you understand this way, you will be able to make your room alive; you will be able to design a house together with your family; a garden for your children; places where you can work; beautiful terraces where you can sit and dream.

The building of the architecture of a novel - the craft of it - is something I never tire of.

I tell you, it is easier to build a grand opera or a city center than to build a personal house.

In the field of fantastic fiction, the question of world-building is not uncontroversial. But I grew up with 'Dungeons and Dragons,' so that whole world-building thing is very close to my heart.

I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.
