Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
  • 2. You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.
  • 3. A moment comes which comes but rarely in history when we step out from the old to the new when an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Recently I went to a disco with friends and all the young people were saying 'Dudamel we want to go to your concert but it's impossible because it's sold out.' It's really amazing.
  • 2. When you think of it I haven't really done a lot of horror. It's amazing: I have done some really good ones but I haven't done a lot of them.
  • 3. I get to do the most amazing things. We call it Host in Peril quite often because people love to see me risk my life or be in danger.

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. I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational but I don't think that translates into anger.
  • 3. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.
  • 2. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 3. Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.

5 Architecture

  • 1. There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.
  • 2. The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
  • 3. The loftier the building the deeper must the foundation be laid.
