“I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied.”

“Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight.”

“Beauty is only about relationships. Nothing is beautiful on its own.”
