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. Age does not bring you wisdom age brings you wrinkles.
  • 2. I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health you can enjoy things into your 80s.
  • 3. Second to agriculture humbug is the biggest industry of our age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. It was amazing and inspiring to see so many people come together through music to aid the great state of Vermont.
  • 3. The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change but our view of beauty stays the same.

3 Anger

  • 1. Religion can emerge in all forms of feeling: here wild anger there the sweetest pain here consuming hatred there the childlike smile of serene humility.
  • 2. Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative and by being creative you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
  • 3. Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.

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. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
  • 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. And when an architect has designed a house with large windows which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.
  • 2. Look architecture has a lot of places to hide behind a lot of excuses. 'The client made me do this.' 'The city made me do this.' 'Oh the budget.' I don't believe that anymore.
  • 3. If architecture is as is sometimes said music set in concrete then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
