1 Age

  • 1. I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades rather than whether someone's 42 or 47 you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
  • 2. Old age is far more than white hair wrinkles the feeling that it is too late and the game finished that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body but the indifference of the soul.
  • 3. I came to water late. I learned to swim at the age of 20.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's amazing how a competitive nature can turn a negative into something positive.
  • 2. It is spectacular. From about five minutes in when we knew for sure that we were going to have the weather to go the smile on my face just got bigger and bigger and I was just beaming through the whole launch. I mean it is just an amazing ride.
  • 3. The average session takes about one to two hours. It's totally amazing because when a person breathes they go through one stage of relaxation after another and every stage releases tension.

3 Anger

  • 1. I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.
  • 2. All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike friendship anger or pity.
  • 3. Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.
  • 2. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.
  • 3. This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.
  • 2. I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.
  • 3. There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
