1 Age

  • 1. Everybody past a certain age regardless of how they look on the outside pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives.

  • 3. It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm not sure I make old bones in parliament. It's an amazing experience to have had but I can't see myself being Mother of the House.
  • 2. I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing amazing things and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed. It's unbelievable.
  • 3. I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap and I see why. There is a certain slickness – there's nothing better than an amazing musical but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.

3 Anger

  • 1. I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.
  • 2. We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.
  • 3. Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
  • 2. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.
  • 3. We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we changing continue to love a changed person.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I feel however that we architects have a special duty and mission… (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.
  • 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. I was going to be an architect. I graduated with a degree in architecture and I had a scholarship to go back to Princeton and get my Masters in architecture. I'd done theatricals in college but I'd done them because it was fun.
