1 Age

  • 1. We're still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That's the old metaphor: You're born you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude.
  • 2. Everyone takes pause at 40. It's the age you have to assess everything in your life. It's the fictitious marker that's always coming up when you're young. The world really does look at you to kind of have it together by 40 and be successful by 40. Whatever success means.
  • 3. In the age of the individual's liquidation the question of individuality must be raised anew.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I like making pies. I have a bunch of fruit trees in my backyard. My loquat tree sprouted and I like making loquat pie. They're really hard to peel and everything and it took me forever but they make the best pies. They're amazing.
  • 2. My dad was a journalist. He was in Rwanda right after the genocide. In Berlin when the wall came down. He was always disappearing and coming back with amazing stories. So telling stories for a living made sense to me.
  • 3. Janet Jackson is an icon I've been honored to meet her a few times working with her would be amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. What influenced me was Tori Amos who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me and very inspiring before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'
  • 2. There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
  • 3. When I was younger I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
  • 2. June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.
  • 3. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is politics.
  • 2. My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.
  • 3. But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.
