Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Time in general has always been a central obsession of mine – what it does to people how it can constitute a plot all on its own. So naturally I am interested in old age.
  • 2. O love if I regret the age when one savors you it is not for the hour of pleasure but for the one that follows it.
  • 3. If you love somebody you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work whatever the situation.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars… It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.
  • 2. I cannot stress enough that the answer to life's questions is often in people's faces. Try putting your iPhones down once in a while and look in people's faces. People's faces will tell you amazing things. Like if they are angry or nauseous or asleep.
  • 3. It is amazing to think after all that has happened in this country in the last few years the last few decades that so many people have this blind faith that government is our friend and therefore so we don't need protections against it.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
  • 2. I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time then you really don't have a good life.
  • 3. Our humor turns our anger into a fine art.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. My last trip to New Orleans was for the fifth anniversary of Katrina and I had the awesome opportunity to bring my family down. We all worked on a house together and met some of the families.
  • 2. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.
  • 3. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
  • 2. Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
  • 3. The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture and the language that we use about politics it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.
