1 Age

  • 1. If you've got to my age you've probably had your heart broken many times. So it's not that difficult to unpack a bit of grief from some little corner of your heart and cry over it.
  • 2. Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much we feel so little.
  • 3. I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way and I just don't have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change but I can't obsess about it.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm on an Isabel Marant kick. She does an amazing job of making things that are everyday-wearable but also special and a little bit different. I definitely like that she has a '70s western vibe. There's something that's very fun and vintage in what she's doing.
  • 2. Pebble Beach. It is tough and the lay out is amazing.
  • 3. It was amazing and inspiring to see so many people come together through music to aid the great state of Vermont.

3 Anger

  • 1. I have a right to my anger and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be that it's not nice to be and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.
  • 2. As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud the anger is elevated sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.
  • 3. Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time anger at what we can't do fear or even disgust at growing old.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
  • 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. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort expressed in organic simplicity.
  • 2. Make big plans aim high in hope and work remembering that a noble logical diagram once recorded will not die.
  • 3. Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.
