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

Ripping up carpet is easy, tiling is the issue.

Use plants to bring life.

I've had rooms that didn't come out to my liking.

Inexpensive is good.

There are lighter colors of granite and I like to break the rules.

Being in the design industry, I've tended to meet more people who are affected by HIV and AIDS.

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.

From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.

I don't write drafts. I write from the beginning to the end, and when it's finished, it's done.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Before beginning, plan carefully.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

The people who voted for President Obama are just beginning to wake up to exactly what they brought in. The 'change' they envisioned is not the 'change' they have gotten.

Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.

And that's how I start myself. I usually go back a couple of pages, maybe to the beginning of the chapter, and I start reading. And as I'm reading, I'm tweaking - putting in a different word, changing the syntax, putting that clause over there, you know that sort of thing.

In the beginning it was all black and white.

A palindrome is a word or pattern that instead of developing in different directions it folds in on itself so that the beginning and end mirror each other, that they are the same.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

At the beginning of 1955 only about 60 percent of American homes had TVs.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Most musicians count at the beginning, and never count and talk to their musicians after that. They only talk to them at the end of the song. But I would count with them and talk.
