I wanted people to come to the restaurant and feel at home, so I put it in a house.

I don't feel 'vibes' when I enter a building - don't feel the previous owners looking down on me. But I do know when a place feels friendly.

I have been very happy with my homes, but homes really are no more than the people who live in them.

I think even when homeowners love their room, it's still a shock, because you left your house, went to sleep, came home and your room was dramatically and drastically different.

I think homes should reflect the individuals and their individual taste rather than someone else's.

Customers don't just want to shop: they want to feel that the brand understands them.

I didn't go in there and tell them I think you should move me, but I also understand the nature of this business.

I wanted stores that would feel like a comfortable room in my apartment, cozy and colorful and different.

I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell - but then I can never bring myself to sell them.

My idea of home is not necessarily a place.
