1 Age

  • 1. I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.
  • 2. Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
  • 3. As a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene. Well as it turned out I never wrote a great novel sadly and I never converted to Catholicism happily but I did do one thing he did. That is in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be.

2 Amazing

  • 1. You know when I was a kid waiting on the bus I remember that was when I imagined my life. I imagined everything that I was gonna be when I grew up and I imagined all of these amazing journeys and amazing people I'd meet. Of course all of it has kind of come to fruition.
  • 2. I want to be like Tom Cruise from 'The Outsiders' and go on and do amazing movies for a long time.
  • 3. The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens like I see an amazing animal like a fox or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.

3 Anger

  • 1. In the heat of our campaigns we have all become accustomed to a little anger and exaggeration. Yet on the whole our political process has served us well.
  • 2. The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can't seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it's my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
  • 3. He that would be angry and sin not must not be angry with anything but sin.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I call architecture frozen music.
  • 2. I went to school for engineering I studied jazz. So I always had this kind of creative side and technical side and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them so I went to architecture school in New York.
  • 3. Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.
