1 Age

  • 1. Many women my age have known the experience of giving up crucial parts of themselves to please the man they love.
  • 2. I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
  • 3. The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others who are late to develop it just enables them to finish the job.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I feel fortunate. I've really gotten to work with amazing talented people and to learn from them which is why I'm doing this. If I can work with the best director I'm going to do it.
  • 2. I enjoy looking at words on paper and visualizing how to make them come to life. As a director the creative process is really amazing.
  • 3. You know 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young and it was a show about old people and it was a very traditional show but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.

3 Anger

  • 1. Discussion is an exchange of knowledge an argument an exchange of ignorance.
  • 2. My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior but should be based on the facts.
  • 3. What I needed most was to love and to be loved eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me and sure enough I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy by suspicions and fear by burst of anger and quarrels.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.
  • 2. Architecture is politics.
  • 3. A great building must begin with the unmeasurable must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.
