1 Age

  • 1. I believe that the fight against crime starts in the home. Parents must take responsibility for their children and show them love and guidance from an early age so they learn to respect the rights of others.
  • 2. Old age and the passage of time teach all things.
  • 3. You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.

2 Amazing

  • 1. To go to the Oscars for Moneyball – that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow – that's going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don't have to go back to being a waiter. That's still my main goal.
  • 2. I don't get a chance to do many of my own stunts on 'Buffy' – none of us do. We have amazing stunt people who make us all look really believable and really good.
  • 3. Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player he didn't do anything amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. You can survive with anger but you can't live with it forever.
  • 2. In plain terms a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood there's an anger.
  • 3. Our task of course is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think in fact that one could give that as a definition of revolution.

  • 2. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.
  • 3. On this important anniversary we must remember that while we have come a long way in eliminating barriers critical work remains to ensure all Americans can live up to their full potential.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.
  • 2. What people want above all is order.
  • 3. I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.
