Not the fruit of experience but experience itself is the end.

I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud or perhaps even think.

At our best it's a good experience but we do 22 episodes a year so there are some clunkers.

2

I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It's funny because when we found out we were pregnant I said 'Okay let's experience that.' You just have to just go with it because it's rare.

3

Many children are natural fantasists I think perhaps because their imaginations have yet to be clobbered into submission by experience.

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. At this age I should be leading a quiet life.
  • 3. Photography suits the temper of this age – of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas imagery for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting for one who sees quickly and acts decisively accurately.

2 Amazing

  • 1. You go through at least the first two years of Star Trek and you find some amazing stuff. Everything that was going on Gene put into the series. He just put strange costumes on the actors and painted them funny colours and left the same situation in.
  • 2. Motion capture is amazing. I prefer it. You wear a 'Power Ranger'-esque suit you have tape balls on you you have 60 cameras around you capturing your every movement and there's no hair no makeup.
  • 3. It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
  • 2. Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.
  • 3. I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned through experience to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love trust partnership tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

5 Architecture

  • 1. They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
  • 2. I see architecture not as Gropius did as a moral venture as truth but as invention in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.
  • 3. What has happened to architecture since the second world war that the only passers-by who can contemplate it without pain are those equipped with a white stick and a dog?
