Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Age is not all decay it is the ripening the swelling of the fresh life within that withers and bursts the husk.
  • 2. I can't wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait.
  • 3. All my early school reports from the age of 5 were 'Daniel must learn not to distract others.'

2 Amazing

  • 1. Do you like my suit? I think this is an amazing suit don't you think?
  • 2. I've done my best to work from a place of humility – always looking over your shoulder saying 'Does this suck?' and I think that's a good way to work. The other way to work is where you start to think 'I'm on fire I'm amazing!' and I don't think that's the way to work.
  • 3. It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience.

3 Anger

  • 1. On banks I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer. There is much public anger about banks and it is well deserved.
  • 2. In plain terms a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood there's an anger.
  • 3. Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.
  • 2. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
  • 3. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

5 Architecture

  • 1. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
  • 2. I am but an architectural composer.
  • 3. Architecture of all the arts is the one which acts the most slowly but the most surely on the soul.
