A person can’t just drive around the North Slope, visit the locals, stop in at a burger joint. There are no locals, no burger joints, no houses, no cities, no churches.
As a preacher who has spent significant time in churches and houses of worship all across the country, I can tell you firsthand that religious liberty and freedom are principles that can never be infringed upon.
The key to house prices is the share of foreclosure or short sales in the total housing market. When that share rises, house prices will fall, because distressed properties sell for significantly less – currently around 25 percent below non-distressed houses.
I like when we do houses in the beach cities, because we can go a little crazier with budget. It’s fun to do more original things like wallpapers and high-end design.
I haven’t been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I’ve been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don’t blow money. I don’t have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I’ve already had that experience.

My dad was a cop, you know, and I grew up three houses down from people who used Confederate flags as curtains.
I started making houses for ants because I thought they needed somewhere to live. Then I made them shoes and hats. It was a fantasy world I escaped to where my dyslexia didn’t hold me back and my teachers couldn’t criticize me. That’s how my career as a micro-sculptor began.
I did a business in a box called College Pro Painters. They taught you how to paint houses, how to hire and fire, how to sell, how to deal with customers. You got a one-year franchise. It was the hardest year of my life in terms of hard work. I won manager of the year. It was very successful.
I was born and raised in Southall; we had two houses which we made into one big one because there were 12 of us living there: me and my bro, my parents, my grandparents, and my dad’s brother’s family.
Frank Lloyd Wright made houses right up until the end. I think that’s important because it gives you a direct connection to all the basic aspects of architecture – the spatial energy of the place, the construction, the materials, the site, the detail.
I’d been living on the streets of New York, and I was sleeping at my friends’ houses, sometimes in the subway.
I do not come from the industry. But I have realized that it’s very important to work with senior directors and good production houses. It makes a lot of difference.
Opera needs a major makeover; the large opera houses are too in thrall to their conservative patrons.
Heaven and God are not high above us, far away; they are deep within us. Heaven is not a distant country where there are trees and houses and other objects; it is a plane of consciousness within us. Seekers of the eternal Truth will realise their eternal Heaven within their aspiring hearts.
The corridor is hardly ever found in small houses, apart from the verandah, which also serves as a corridor.
The trouble with glossy magazines is that they tend to be stuffed with articles about handbag designers – the sort of women who, with their perfectly styled lives, immaculate houses, and adoring partners, make you want to become a hermit.
Vancouver houses one of North America’s largest open air drug markets and has a dense and heartbreaking problem with homelessness and mental illness. Those are the neighbourhoods I live and work in.
It was the first time I was looking, really, right after the storm, that I saw maybe the amount of devastation that had happened in the Lower Ninth Ward. Where my friends lived, which was about six blocks from where the industrial canal was, houses was smashed into houses, and there were, like, four houses smashed together.
What you experience in the army, aged 18 to 21, is what you take through all your life. You cross invisible lines: you shoot someone, get shot, break into people’s houses. It’s naive to think you won’t carry anything into your life.
My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other’s houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

I talked once with Harrison Ford about Wright’s houses and how impressive they are.
My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.
Jonathan and I love flipping homes. We’ve been renovating and flipping houses since the ’90s.

Unfortunately, this will have a ripple effect in the economy. People carrying heavy student-loan debt won’t buy houses, start families, or start businesses. This will hurt the future economy.
The fact that we can’t easily foresee clues that would betray an intelligence a million millennia farther down the road suggests that we’re like ants trying to discover humans. Ask yourself: Would ants ever recognize houses, cars, or fire hydrants as the work of advanced biology?
I love antique architecture, so if I have any indulgences, I have owned and renovated and reconstructed a lot of old houses.
I have two houses in California, and they’re both within a couple of minutes from the beach. So, I definitely feel at home in California and by the ocean.
I moved around a lot when I was a child; two of the houses I grew up in have totally disappeared. One was burnt in a riot, and the other was pulled down.
It’s definitely weird, because pretty much everybody owns the Tony Hawk videogame. Just going over to people’s houses and watching play me as I walk in – that’s actually happened a few times and that’s so weird. It’s like, ‘Dude, you’re playing me right now.’ It was too weird.
The wrap party for the ‘Lorna Doone’ TV series was pretty special. We went to about four clubs, then four people’s houses, and I got home at midday the next day. I’d been wearing ridiculous green shoes all night, and the dye had smudged all over my legs.
In the Scottish Orkneys, the little stone houses with their single large room and central hearth had an extraordinary range of built-in furniture.

Now people look at ‘The Scream’ or Van Gogh’s ‘Irises’ or a Picasso and see its new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value.
The houses of Heaven are God-built and are as enduring and incorruptible as their builder. We will have bodies after the resurrection; transfigured they will be after the model of Christ’s glorious body.
Most Americans haven’t had my happy experience of living for thirteen years in a seventeenth-century house, since most of America lacks seventeenth-century houses.
I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I’m ‘Ms. Manners.’ That’s not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I grew up on a farm – it was a lovely life; we’d make tree houses all day – and my parents worked from home.
After years in white theaters I dreaded working in colored houses. The noise, the stomping, whistling, and cheering that hadn’t annoyed me when I was young was now something I dreaded.

I found out a lot of stuff through MTV, and I didn’t even have cable, I just saw it at friends’ houses. But my culture in junior high was totally influenced by it.
