Designing is my hobby. If I didn’t do what I do for a living – at some point when I don’t do this for a living – I’ll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture.
I hope I make people feel better. I hope I take people out of their situations a little bit and make them happier. That’s really why I do what I do.
I don’t really ever live my life in fear. I really live my life in gratitude and feeling positive for the most part.
I’m a godmother, that’s a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me god for short, that’s cute, I taught her that.
There’s no one way to dance. And that’s kind of my philosophy about everything.
I get to do stand-up every single day. I love that live energy exchange between the audience and myself, and to get to say the things I want to say and comment on.
I am saddened by how people treat one another and how we are so shut off from one another and how we judge one another, when the truth is, we are all one connected thing. We are all from the same exact molecules.
Just go up to somebody on the street and say ‘You’re it!’ and then run away.
It would be horrible to live with someone who didn’t like the same things you like.
I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.
People always ask me, ‘Were you funny as a child?’ Well, no, I was an accountant.
My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the hell she is.
I would rather be the good aunt who never says anything bad and lets the parents discipline the child.
I’m not an activist; I don’t look for controversy. I’m not a political person, but I’m a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.
I think beauty comes from actually knowing who you are. That’s real beauty to me.
I think furniture is art. I don’t think art is just for your walls – I think everything that someone has made is a piece of art.
The world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity, and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds, we need to make a shift.
Portia and I have been married for 4 years and they have been the happiest of my life. And in those 4 years, I don’t think we hurt anyone else’s marriage. I asked all of my neighbors and they say they’re fine.
Life is short. If you doubt me, ask a butterfly. Their average life span is a mere five to fourteen days.
We all feel like idiots at one time or another. Even if we feel we’re cool 98 percent of the time, that 2-percent doofus is poised to take over our bodies without any warning.
