People rich enough to redecorate every 10 months are certainly careless with antique furniture. I found four 1760 French side chairs, tapestry seats intact. Claiming them proved easier than persuading any cabdriver to transport the things.

- Allan Gurganus

I had never been in charge of anything. I'd always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I'd never been in charge of an organization.

- Dave Grohl

I will not serve lunch to anyone in the middle of a workday. I rarely rearrange my furniture or cabinets; once I find a drawer for something, it stays there. I don't garden. And I don't knit.

- Christina Baker Kline

They say that the best furniture and clothing design from the '50s and '60s is Scandinavian or Milanese.

- Christian Lacroix

When I was writing 'Withnail,' I was so busted flat that I had one lightbulb that I would carry around the house with me. I mean, really. No furniture, no money, and I was hoping to be an actor, but I could never get a job.

My wife even thinks our next album should be recorded in our house, and we should move all the furniture out to the garage. I'm not sure how many spouses would be supportive of that, much less come up with the idea.

I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.

There are always different influences each season. It could be a person, it could be a piece of furniture; it depends on what I'm obsessing about.

- Anna Sui

I like Church furniture.

- Andres Serrano

I'm a master assembler of Ikea furniture, in case anyone wants to know.

- Allison Williams

The Swedish government needs to understand that relations in the Middle East are more complicated than a piece of furniture from IKEA that you assemble at home.

- Avigdor Lieberman

Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment.

- Arne Jacobsen

I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.

- Aerin Lauder

I love to decorate a room - from the furniture to the objects to the books.

- Aerin Lauder

A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber-room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.
