1 Age

  • 1. I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things but you're old enough too.
  • 2. I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves 'where do I want to be today where do I want to be tomorrow and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.
  • 3. Maybe it is something to do with age but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
  • 2. Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with. I'll love that guy to the end of time.
  • 3. It's not always thankless. Let's face it – it's not always thankless. I've gotten a lot of really great recognition and I've worked with amazing people.

3 Anger

  • 1. I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.
  • 2. Us investigators who went out into the field were faced on occasion with a lot of anger by people saying why has it taken you five or six year to come and see me?
  • 3. All who consult on doubtful matters should be void of hatred friendship anger and pity.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.
  • 2. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.
  • 3. The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Buildings should serve people not the other way around.
  • 2. The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.
  • 3. Designed by architects with honorable intentions but hands of palsy.
