1 Age

  • 1. I never had little brothers so I was totally not used to hearing a lot of cussing at a young age! I learned what 'pull my finger' meant the hard way.
  • 2. I never – you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.
  • 3. Brain power improves by brain use just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population from school days to late middle age now have very complicated lives indeed.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Well just meeting J. K. Rowling was amazing because she created all this world. And all the fans we all get so obsessed with it and then you met the one person who made it all up. It was just so amazing. And I was just so amazed that that she wrote this book and all of the films have happened.
  • 2. I have a really amazing fan club it's contemporary but it's a little bit old school. There's a lot of connection. I have a fan club president who really responds to people.
  • 3. I was informed yesterday that there's a Twitter account for my laugh. Very hard to get used to things like that. Pretty amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 3. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
  • 2. The process I go through in the art and the architecture I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.
  • 3. Every one who has a heart however ignorant of architecture he may be feels the transcendent beauty and poetry of the mediaeval churches.
