My goal with this book is to help people turn their passions into successful businesses, as I did myself through many of the things I learned over the years,
I'm a maniacal perfectionist. And if I weren't, I wouldn't have this company.... I have proven that being a perfectionist can be profitable and admirable when creating content across the board: in television, books, newspapers, radio, videos.
The homes I like the best are totally occupied, busy, and useful, whether it's a tiny little house or a great big one. Rarely do you find a great big house that's used in a good way. So I prefer smaller spaces that are full of books, full of things that people are doing.
Write the book you'd want to read.
The first book really was kind of an entertaining textbook for the homemaker. I couldn't find a good book about entertaining in 1982, and neither could my friend, so I decided to write it.

I later denied any wrongdoing in public statements and in voluntary interviews with prosecutors, ... The government's attempt to criminalize these actions makes no sense to me.
I'm kind of a complainer, but not about getting old. I complain about, you know, something that can be fixed.
I'm used to all kinds of hard work, as you know. I'm not afraid whatsoever.
