1 Age

  • 1. I'm 36 and if I met a woman of my own age and married her I'd also be marrying her former life her past. It might be OK for some people – I don't want to judge it or anything – but it's not for me. It would destroy my creativity.
  • 2. The heart never grows better by age I fear rather worse always harder. A young liar will be an old one and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
  • 3. I do wish I could tell you my age but it's impossible. It keeps changing all the time.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The magic kit we developed with Idea Village is an extraordinary success in 40 000 stores across America. The TV commercial we shot for it has produced amazing results – unbelievable.
  • 2. I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.
  • 3. I love MySpace it's done an amazing job for me and it's been insane over the past couple of weeks but I'm not a poster girl for them.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger if not restrained is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
  • 2. The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can't seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it's my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
  • 3. All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.
  • 2. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.
  • 3. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. You look at the steamboat the railroad the car the airplane – not all of these were invented in the Anglo-American world but they were popularized and extended by it. They were made possible by the financial architecture the capital intensive operations invented and developed by the Anglo-Americans.
  • 2. Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.
  • 3. Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
