"The remark that angered Philip the most was when people said, 'Well, I wouldn’t live here.'"

"He’d say: 'I don’t understand. Who asked them?' He was very annoyed by that."

People who don't live in the Glass House should STFU -- according to the architect, Philip Johnson who liked it just fine.

Great long article -- with pictures -- at the link, with lots of tales told by various folk, like Fran Liebowitz for that one. And this one, by the artist David Salle:
I remember coming with a friend for lunch, and David took her coat but didn’t do anything with her handbag, which she set down on the kitchen counter. And Philip said, “You can’t put that there!” She was taken aback. Someone came and put it in the closet.
