1 Age

  • 1. You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.
  • 2. Every age can be enchanting provided you live within it.
  • 3. To me age is a number just a number. Who cares?

2 Amazing

  • 1. I look up to Mick Jagger because he's an amazing performer and he's such an individual. I respect him and admire him eternally.
  • 2. I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out I feel is really amazing.
  • 3. I was writing a scene where a guy was choking another guy to death. You can go online and type 'chokeholds' and watch scenes where martial artists choke each other out. You can hear what noises they make when they go unconscious see how their bodies flop and everything. YouTube is amazing for the more detailed stuff.

3 Anger

  • 1. When anger rises think of the consequences.
  • 2. If anger proceeds from a great cause it turns to fury if from a small cause it is peevishness and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.
  • 3. Beware of him that is slow to anger for when it is long coming it is the stronger when it comes and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 2. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In my experience if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg it's modern architecture.
  • 2. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
