1 Age

  • 1. In this age of media and Internet access we are much more talkative than ever before.
  • 2. If you live to be one hundred you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
  • 3. I'd like to talk about free markets. Information in the computer age is the last genuine free market left on earth except those free markets where indigenous people are still surviving. And that's basically becoming limited.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.
  • 2. My mom is a really good cook. I didn't get the cooking gene but she cooks this really amazing dinner every Christmas and that's always really fun.
  • 3. It's amazing how stress keeps you trim.

3 Anger

  • 2. Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
  • 3. 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.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.
  • 2. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
  • 3. I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw the worse things got for me musically.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
  • 2. Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
  • 3. Architecture begins where engineering ends.
