Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. It is old age rather than death that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
  • 2. Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
  • 3. Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

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. If you get half a million at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.
  • 3. The feeling of your baby taking nourishment from your body for the first time is amazing and it remains the most touching moment of my life.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance.
  • 2. Generally speaking if a human being never shows anger then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain.
  • 3. My dear brothers take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen slow to speak and slow to become angry for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.
  • 2. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 3. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
  • 2. Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.
  • 3. I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell – but then I can never bring myself to sell them.
