Success is like a high-rise building I'm on the first floor. There are a lot of people in the basement or the parking lot but I was lucky enough to have made it to the first floor and I'm looking to make it to the penthouse.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nurturing a project from the ground floor is something I've been wanting to do.
I am sure that as a woman I can do a very good skyscraper.
I'm always running up and down buildings or around 800-acre properties for work - you can't do that in heels or flip-flops!
Success is not only one thing. It's not only having a nice house in Beverly Hills and driving a nice Mercedes.
There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
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.
I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.
I can't imagine finding success and then moving to a building in Manhattan with 300 strangers, like a bunch of little ants going home at night.
Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.
