1 Age

  • 1. I think you have to be a little bit strict. You can't be friend and their parent in a lot of situations especially in this day and age where it's so dangerous for kids. So there's a bit of sternness I guess in the way I raise my kids.
  • 2. I was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston Illinois in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices – they were about my age but they were doing it.

3 Anger

And I got kind of – it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself – but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.
  • 2. Anger is a momentary madness so control your passion or it will control you.
  • 3. There are people still in the Republican Party that I believe practice the communication of anger of disappointment of regret of pain of sorrow of suffering. That's not what the American people want to hear.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
  • 3. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is invention.
  • 2. I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build.
  • 3. I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell – but then I can never bring myself to sell them.
