1 Age

  • 1. In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.
  • 2. There are signs that the age of petroleum has passed its zenith. Adjusted for inflation a barrel of crude oil now sells for three times its long-run average. The large western oil companies which cartellised the industry for much of the 20th century are now selling more oil than they find and are thus in the throes of liquidation.
  • 3. I really think we should pass a law in every state I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I was the first spokesperson for the Better Hearing Institute in Washington. And that's the message we tried to send out – there is hearing help out there and the technology and options are amazing.
  • 2. The average session takes about one to two hours. It's totally amazing because when a person breathes they go through one stage of relaxation after another and every stage releases tension.
  • 3. When taxidermy is done well it's an amazing piece of art.

3 Anger

  • 1. I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time then you really don't have a good life.
  • 2. Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time anger at what we can't do fear or even disgust at growing old.
  • 3. I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work and for the work I might be capable of.

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. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 3. A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love trust partnership tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources to move into the future.
  • 2. Until the Eighties Oslo was a rather boring town but it's changed a lot and is now much more cosmopolitan. If I go downtown I visit the harbour to see the tall ships and the ferries and to admire the modern architecture such as the Opera House or the new Astrup Fearnley Museum on the water's edge.
  • 3. We should concentrate our work not only to a separated housing problem but housing involved in our daily work and all the other functions of the city.
