1 Age

  • 1. I could always sing from a really young age but my voice was really weird. I used to make my mum turn up the radio every day in our house. She was well into music so I got that from her.
  • 2. Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age.
  • 3. Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I want to be like Tom Cruise from 'The Outsiders' and go on and do amazing movies for a long time.
  • 2. It's nice because success has allowed me to have a blast on stage to be in the studio with amazing people but I find it all a bit bizarre.
  • 3. Los Angeles is a very magical place when you take the entertainment industry out of it. You have beautiful beaches and amazing mountains here. I'm a big rock climber. I head out into the mountains whenever I have free time. It's amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. He who is incapable of feeling strong passions of being shaken by anger of living in every sense of the word will never be a good actor.
  • 2. There is not in nature a thing that makes man so deformed so beastly as doth intemperate anger.
  • 3. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Last week the House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring the victims and heroes of September 11th. As we commemorate the anniversary of 9-11 we must also remember that the threat is still very real today.
  • 2. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 3. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
  • 2. The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.
  • 3. I could have been an architect but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.
