Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I was born in ancient times at the end of the world in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family. No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist – although the term had not reached Chile yet so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.
  • 2. I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
  • 3. Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Yeah I've worked with a couple of female directors now and I think that they're amazing. As good or better than guy directors.
  • 2. Elizabeth Taylor. In her heyday she was amazing.
  • 3. There's no question 'Amazing Race' is a beautifully produced show.

3 Anger

  • 1. It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'
  • 2. I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I'm sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger or I'd have to accept that it happened.
  • 3. In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.
  • 3. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.
  • 2. The building of the architecture of a novel – the craft of it – is something I never tire of.
  • 3. The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
