To me, I love real estate because you can feel it.

I think of real estate as a little bit like cooking or like art.

I weirdly love interior design and real estate and all of that. I really do. I get chills from it.

I view real estate as the most intriguing opportunity that I've seen in my business lifetime.

For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can't in larger projects.

Real estate is my life. It is my day job, if you will. But it consumes my nights and weekends, too.

First and foremost, I'm a real estate person. And that's what I love the most.

Some of the higher price of L.A. real estate does reflect the intrinsic pleasure of living there, as I'm reminded every time I walk out my door into the perfect weather.

I've spent my whole life in real estate, whether it's in our hotels or looking at the competition, and it's my curse to walk into every room and not be drawn to the flaws and have the little imperfections drive me crazy - because they didn't need to happen.

If I am going to get in a cab to go home, and I see a sign for an open house, I will go in. I like real estate because I am the boss.
