I like to do things that are classic.

People surround themselves in their houses with things they don't really need, that they have to dust all the time.

Bird cages are nothing of incredible value, but I like them.

I like Yorkshire Tea - very strong and English.

I can hold a cup of sake on a full moon in Japan, and the reflection of the moon in that little cup can make me feel so enthusiastic about beauty. That one good, magical moment can give me enough to create other things like the teardrop earring or necklace.

A big diamond necklace is nouveau riche, really. People who have wealth a long time don't wear such things.
