1 Age

  • 1. Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants one unexpected event crashing into another with no pattern or reason and then you finally reach a point around my age where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.
  • 2. Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
  • 3. 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 Amazing

  • 1. My family has been amazing and they understand how blessed I am. They've been able to keep my sense of humor.
  • 2. Working on such a big film was amazing. I learned a lot. There weren't too many stunts just some doubling.
  • 3. It was amazing to me that all of a sudden I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

3 Anger

  • 1. As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex.
  • 2. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry some days. But I really have worked hard to put a lot of the anger and disappointment in the past.
  • 3. When you are offended at any man's fault turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 3. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
  • 2. To me a building – if it's beautiful – is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.
  • 3. A house is a machine for living in.
