1 Age

  • 1. If you're old don't try to change yourself change your environment.
  • 2. I think that clearly it has an influence to be coming of age during the punk rock era to come from a difficult and sporadically violent background to have been in and out of such chaos I think it actually helps. But I don't know for sure.
  • 3. One already feels like an anachronism writing novels in the age of what-ever-this-is-the-age-of but touring to promote them feels doubly anachronistic. The marketplace is showing an increasing intolerance for the time-honored practice of printing information on paper and shipping it around the country.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My heart is so light that it's amazing. I get to play all this grief all this loss all this disaster and chaos. It's hysterically funny. I am very light.
  • 2. Since 'Idol' I've gotten used to having an amazing hair and make-up team around me so I'm starting to get picky. I know what I like now and I'm happy to say 'Could we maybe change that?' if I don't like something. I don't yell or anything but I think I could definitely start to act a little diva-ish when it comes to my look.
  • 3. I get to do the most amazing things. We call it Host in Peril quite often because people love to see me risk my life or be in danger.

3 Anger

  • 1. Hatred is inveterate anger.
  • 2. Guilt is anger directed at ourselves – at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others – at what they did or did not do.
  • 3. When anger rushes unrestrained to action like a hot steed it stumbles on its way. The man of thought strikes deepest and strikes safely.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays I go Fridays.
  • 2. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 3. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.

5 Architecture

  • 1. My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we – architects – can effect the quality of life of the people.
  • 2. Of all the lessons most relevant to architecture today Japanese flexibility is the greatest.
  • 3. I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
