I enjoy talking to fans.

I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.

I am the young, edgy New Yorker.

I know people don't think I work.

In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.

I'm opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don't waver.

I see the same coffee table everywhere. It's mass marketing.

I've made an incredible amount of money stealing fans from homeowners.

Little did we know it would be watched by millions of people and break viewing records.

Whether it was working on theatre sets or stage lighting, I didn't realize most all of the skills I was exposed to were going to come in handy later on when I became a designer.

I'm having the time of my life and I'm glad people are enjoy it.

I've enjoyed being a part of something from the beginning, when we were still finding our footing.

I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.

Throughout the country, I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.

I'm very flattered, but I don't think I'm the sexiest man on the planet.

It's a character I've created. Actually, that's pretty much the opposite of me, off a farm in the Midwest.

I was supposed to be the antithesis of Frank.

They don't know they're living in a glass house.

Yeah, I spent about 20 years in a dorm room. It took me a while to graduate.

A challenge always is good. Normal design does not come under the constraints of a small budget and time frame. But it has helped me to make quick and knowledgeable decisions.

Designing is a lot like a high-wire act - if the tightrope walker is only six inches off the ground, where's the excitement?

There is no such thing as a guilty pleasure.

What people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor.

Why stress tomorrow when you can stress today?

Honor must start in the heart but if it ends there it isnt honor. Honor must be expressed through words symbols actions or gestures. Honor is among the most incarnational of the virtues. It must have feet and hands.

Your deep interests should always have a dog-eared place on your nightstand.

The medievalist has the capacity, and the desire, to harmonize. He believes the planets sing in harmony; why cannot technology also sing?

Immodest and attractive is easy. Modest and repulsive is easy too. But modest and attractive is an art form.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.
