1 Age

  • 1. I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
  • 2. But an old age serene and bright and lovely as a Lapland night shall lead thee to thy grave.
  • 3. Age is a terrible avenger. The lessons of life give you so much to work with but by the time you've got all this great wisdom you don't get to be young anymore.

2 Amazing

  • 1. At 13 when I was a runaway I was taken in by the most amazing drag queens in Portland Ore. We didn't always know where our next meal was coming from but there was so much camaraderie and love. Not to mention those girls could paint a face and I learned how because of them.
  • 2. I grew up with all boys in my family where there was no place for girlie stuff. But it's amazing to walk into my house now. Everything is pink!

3 Anger

  • 1. Our humor turns our anger into a fine art.
  • 2. My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.
  • 3. All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.
  • 2. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.
  • 3. You will reciprocally promise love loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today before God you formulate.

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. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
  • 3. An important work of architecture will create polemics.
