1 Age

  • 1. I love physical kinds of comedy and getting down and dirty and doing stunts. When I was growing up I was always getting into fights with guys and usually punching out boys my age because I was a lot bigger and tougher. So I'm naturally accustomed to putting myself into the headspace of a girl who can take care of herself.
  • 2. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
  • 3. At an early age I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I think what's really amazing is that given the scale of the web and getting the compute power we have today we're starting to see things that appear intelligent but actually aren't semantically intelligent.
  • 2. My favorite laser disk ever was the laser disk for The Graduate which had a commentary track that wasn't even the filmmakers it was a professor some film criticism guy who just happen to be this amazing commentator who went off into the whole theory of comedy.
  • 3. I go to Saint Barth in the French West Indies for two weeks each year. That place is amazing. Amazing people beautiful beaches great wine wonderful harbors… It's incredibly romantic.

3 Anger

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
  • 3. How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.
  • 2. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 3. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'

5 Architecture

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
  • 3. Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
