It's funny to be discovered by a lot of people who didn't know you before. People always used to say 'Do you shop at Home Depot?' or 'Does your kid go to such and such school?' They want to know why they know me even if they don't know my name. I don't think that's a bad thing by the way I think it's nice to be kind of anonymously famous.

1 Age

  • 1. I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience wisdom and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.
  • 2. God employs several translators some pieces are translated by age some by sickness some by war some by justice.
  • 3. I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean 90 is the new 70 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40 so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience.
  • 2. I had a great time with John Duigan he's pretty amazing.
  • 3. I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord which is consistent with the Gospel but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.

3 Anger

  • 1. The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul angry or gentle. Anger is just and pity is just but judgement is never just.
  • 2. Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger.
  • 3. Never go to bed angry stay up and fight.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. 1 month ago the American people stopped to remember the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. We thought first and foremost of the selflessness patriotism and heroism by our troops our National Guard and Reserves.

5 Architecture

  • 1. It was the drawing that led me to architecture the search for light and astonishing forms.
  • 2. No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
  • 3. Liquid architecture. It's like jazz – you improvise you work together you play off each other you make something they make something. And I think it's a way of – for me it's a way of trying to understand the city and what might happen in the city.
