Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. It is old age rather than death that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
  • 2. What's a man's age? He must hurry more that's all Cram in a day what his youth took a year to hold.
  • 3. It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education health for people that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind amazing things will happen.
  • 2. I feel fortunate. I've really gotten to work with amazing talented people and to learn from them which is why I'm doing this. If I can work with the best director I'm going to do it.
  • 3. The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing that rush of adrenaline.

3 Anger

  • 1. Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see one can only be angry with those he respects.
  • 2. I have a right to my anger and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be that it's not nice to be and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.
  • 3. The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I've been sober for two-and-a-half years My children are happy. In August my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.
  • 2. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
  • 3. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.

5 Architecture

  • 1. My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we – architects – can effect the quality of life of the people.
  • 2. I have no requirements for a style of architecture.
  • 3. Vitality is radiated from exceptional art and architecture.
