Topics Index

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. 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. As winter strips the leaves from around us so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.

2 Amazing

  • 1. When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
  • 2. Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.
  • 3. We start 'The Butler' in June and that's incredibly exciting for me because I get to work with the amazing Forest Whitaker again. It's a phenomenal script and a great great role – I play his son. Oprah Winfrey is his wife and my mother. My character is a radical civil rights activist.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think anger and laughter are very close to each other when you think about it.
  • 2. He who is incapable of feeling strong passions of being shaken by anger of living in every sense of the word will never be a good actor.
  • 3. Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 2. The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
  • 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. So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
  • 2. It was the drawing that led me to architecture the search for light and astonishing forms.
  • 3. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
