1 Age

  • 1. Bashfulness is an ornament to youth but a reproach to old age.
  • 2. I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health you can enjoy things into your 80s.

2 Amazing

  • 3. We're taught to be ashamed of confusion anger fear and sadness and to me they're of equal value to happiness excitement and inspiration.

5 Architecture

  • 1. There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
  • 2. Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
