1 Age

  • 1. I think it's pretty crazy to say you've been typecast at the age of 20 before you've even really started getting going.
  • 2. As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body but can never be so in mind.
  • 3. In the 1970s and 1980s there was so little decent fiction for young people but we're now in a golden age that shows no sign of fading. Philip Pullman J. K. Rowling Lemony Snicket are only three of the best known among a good number of equals.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 'The Dance Scene' is basically the most amazing dance show in the world and it follows me as a creative director. You see how I maintain that creativity.
  • 2. It's odd because I used to see pictures on telly or wherever of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something it maybe isn't what you thought it was.
  • 3. It's amazing to hear as a voice matures and then starts to decline what kind of emotion is still conveyed by a really good vocalist.

3 Anger

  • 1. The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame… the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi.
  • 2. A lot of my humor does come from anger. It's like you're not gonna pull one over on me – which is pretty much my motto anyways.
  • 3. Anger if not restrained is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The higher the building the lower the morals.
  • 2. Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.
  • 3. In my experience if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg it's modern architecture.
