1 Age

  • 1. At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers and at its worst an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.
  • 2. One already feels like an anachronism writing novels in the age of what-ever-this-is-the-age-of but touring to promote them feels doubly anachronistic. The marketplace is showing an increasing intolerance for the time-honored practice of printing information on paper and shipping it around the country.
  • 3. I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 'Game of Thrones' is an amazing show and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.
  • 2. If you tell people where to go but not how to get there you'll be amazed at the results.
  • 3. Spinning has been such an amazing part of my exercise. I love the music the energy and the sweat. It's a tough class which makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. It's a great way to burn fat and lean out the body. An all-around win!

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest.
  • 2. My anger with the US was not at first that they had used that weapon – although that anger came later.
  • 3. The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 2. We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we changing continue to love a changed person.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I studied architecture in New York. So really I was very moved like everyone else to try to contribute something that has that resonance and profundity of it means to all of us.
  • 2. I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.
  • 3. Buildings should serve people not the other way around.
