1 Age

  • 1. Those who love deeply never grow old they may die of old age but they die young.
  • 2. I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think if anything the press kind of because of my gender and my age tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic I guess.
  • 3. My wife and I unlike many intellectuals spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I don't get a chance to do many of my own stunts on 'Buffy' – none of us do. We have amazing stunt people who make us all look really believable and really good.
  • 2. Everybody just asks me 'Are you going to make Hollywood movies now?' First I don't know. Second I never dreamed about that I just dreamed about making movies with Tarantino. So if I can make movies with a lot of amazing directors – yes.
  • 3. Well what I love about '80s rock music is the amazing fantastic melodies.

3 Anger

  • 1. The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
  • 2. We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
  • 3. Anger is a transient hatred or at least very like it.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse hopefully enduring and intimate to the degree of being sacred.
  • 2. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.
  • 2. There is a powerful need for symbolism and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. There is a powerful need for symbolism and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart.
  • 3. The building of the architecture of a novel – the craft of it – is something I never tire of.
