1 Age

  • 1. Old age adds to the respect due to virtue but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice it whitens only the hair.
  • 2. At an early age I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did.
  • 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. I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it that's God. And if we fight it if we swim the other way we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.
  • 2. I got a phone call from Fearne Cotton. It was amazing! I literally couldn't believe it. It was so cool. It was the night before I was going on her show to sing on the 'Live Lounge.' She was so lovely.
  • 3. I enjoyed being a teammate of Deion Sanders. He brings different elements to the game that many people would not even realize and to watch and witness a superior talent like him and watch him prepare and train and study the game is truly amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Holding on to anger resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.
  • 2. You will not be punished for your anger you will be punished by your anger.
  • 3. Fear is the only true enemy born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
  • 2. What people want above all is order.
  • 3. No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
