1 Age

  • 1. We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
  • 2. Youth is the best time to be rich and the best time to be poor.
  • 3. I was always obsessed with being famous. I had Marilyn Monroe paper dolls as a child and I was always obsessed with her. I've just been really driven in that direction and none of my friends were. So I don't know what put that bug in me at a young age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear.
  • 2. My whole family actually but my parents. I had such a normal and amazing childhood. I've been so lucky. My parents are cool and normal. They don't talk about the business and I still have stuff to do at their house.
  • 3. Alan Cumming is such an amazing performer and person.

3 Anger

  • 3. There is not in nature a thing that makes man so deformed so beastly as doth intemperate anger.

4 Anniversary

Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.
  • 2. Until the Eighties Oslo was a rather boring town but it's changed a lot and is now much more cosmopolitan. If I go downtown I visit the harbour to see the tall ships and the ferries and to admire the modern architecture such as the Opera House or the new Astrup Fearnley Museum on the water's edge.
  • 3. The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
