One my favorite things is to go to the provinces of Russia and see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they've created these amazing churches.

When I was a young boy, growing up in Durham, North Carolina, the women in my family were truly passionate about their clothes nothing was more beautiful to me than women dressing with the utmost, meticulous attention to accessories, shoes, handbags, hats, coats, dresses and gloves to attend Sunday church services.

I just need green. I need to wake up and see grass and squirrels. I don't want to see skyscrapers.
