I have not much love for the bright lights - unless it's the sun creeping up over the horizon.

Lighting is an essential way to change the mood of a room, especially if you can use dimmers.

I can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action.

I always loved bulbs, and I use light a lot in my shows. In my office in Paris, I have 300 bulbs.

To me, lighting really sets the mood for a room. A 40 watt bulb in a cheap lamp is the same as a 40 watt bulb in an expensive one.

We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb.

It's better to burn brightly for half as long than to be a dim lingering light.

The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.

You have been called to be who you are - the whole luminous light. No one can dim your light when you are fully present to the depth and breadth of it.
