1 Age

  • 1. Although it is generally known I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age.
  • 2. My view is pensioners don't have the one option that people of working age have. They can't really increase their income because they are no longer able to work.
  • 3. 'Dallas' hit a chord back in the late Seventies and Eighties because it was the age of greed: here you have this unapologetic character who is mean and nasty and ruthless and does it all with an evil grin. I think people related to JR back then because we all have someone we know exactly like him. Everyone in the world knows a JR.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Just knowing that through my music I actually inspire people is amazing for me and I find it very heartwarming.
  • 2. You know when I was a kid waiting on the bus I remember that was when I imagined my life. I imagined everything that I was gonna be when I grew up and I imagined all of these amazing journeys and amazing people I'd meet. Of course all of it has kind of come to fruition.
  • 3. Always expect the unexpected. Right around Thanksgiving when the new Alex Cross will be out. It's called Four Blind Mice and it's a pretty amazing story about several murders inside the military.

3 Anger

  • 1. It is wise to direct your anger towards problems – not people to focus your energies on answers – not excuses.
  • 2. Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
  • 3. The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 2. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.
  • 2. As a designer the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
  • 3. Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.
