1 Age

  • 1. If you live to be one hundred you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
  • 2. I vividly remember being 14. That was the age when I started to get happy: I started being a writer and stopped being a loser.
  • 3. The greatest writers of this age… are aware of the mystery of our existence.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's awesome to see something like 'Inception' which is just mind-blowing and amazing and it actually resonates with the audiences. I feel like that's rare.
  • 2. My dad was working abroad in Iraq and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him in Baghdad off and on. For the first ten years of my life we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East.
  • 3. It feels amazing to work with writers that write really well.

3 Anger

  • 1. I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger rage fear sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.
  • 2. My friends love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
  • 3. Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. My last trip to New Orleans was for the fifth anniversary of Katrina and I had the awesome opportunity to bring my family down. We all worked on a house together and met some of the families.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Yet for my part deeply as I am moved by the religious architecture of the Middle Ages I cannot honestly say that I ever felt the slightest emotion in any modern Gothic church.
  • 2. There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.
  • 3. I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
