A few selections from the interview…

“When it comes to decoration, I’ll look at an environment and extrapolate from that rather than override the local aesthetic,”

“I’m not one of those designers who feel this needs to go through a radical redecoration. I think it’s better to let things age. It’s certainly more charming.”

“I want people to know that New Orleans is all that it’s cracked up to be… It’s less formal all over the country, but in New Orleans, if you have people for dinner, they’ll invite you to dinner. That old-fashioned tradition is maintained.”
