I go back and forth between wanting to be abundantly simple and maddeningly complex.

Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

True simplicity is, well, you just keep on going and going until you get to the point where you go, 'Yeah, well, of course.' Where there's no rational alternative.

I do seem to try to make things harder and harder for myself. In some perverse way, obstacles interest me and I'm drawn to projects that end up being incredibly laborious.

I do everything in a straightforward manner.

My philosophy? Simplicity plus variety.

I'm a perfectionist. I need to be needed. I need to do things for a man. But I don't need to do them as much, these days.

I keep things pretty simple.
