1 Age

  • 1. I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger or parenting ad nauseam.
  • 2. Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession education hours worked age marital status and children men still are compensated substantially more – even in professions like nursing dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap.
  • 3. My parents got married late and they had kids late so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.
  • 2. I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time I don't need holidays I just stop working.
  • 3. I saw Ellen and my knees were weak. It was amazing. And it was very hard for me to get her out of my mind after that. Then when I saw her that night we started talking and that's that.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness anger concealed often hardens into revenge.
  • 2. The fear really hits you. That's what you feel first. And then it's the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself.
  • 3. When you start suppressing feelings at an early age it hurts you down the road. Full expression of anger and pain is very important.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. On July 18 we will mark the 12th anniversary of the senseless loss of 85 lives in the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires Argentina.
  • 2. Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.
  • 3. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
  • 2. In my experience if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg it's modern architecture.
  • 3. People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course that's both liberating and alarming.
