I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone let him be where he will.

Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Like many women my age I am 28 years old.
  • 2. I think it's quite extraordinary that people cast me as if I'm Warren Beatty: until I met my present wife at the age of 35 you could name two girlfriends.
  • 3. It's only at this age that I can say the word 'art' without flinching.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 'Twilight' is such an amazing project and I think it opened up doors for all of us cast members.
  • 2. What I've enjoyed most though is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn – I love it!
  • 3. Comics are so full of amazing work. And I can't look at a drawing of a woman without thinking of for instance Wallace Wood and his amazing way of capturing beauty.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.
  • 2. I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time then you really don't have a good life.
  • 3. Anger is seldom without argument but seldom with a good one.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.
  • 2. Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.
  • 3. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.

5 Architecture

  • 1. After about the first Millennium Italy was the cradle of Romanesque architecture which spread throughout Europe much of it extending the structural daring with minimal visual elaboration.
  • 2. The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.
  • 3. Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.
