1 Age

  • 1. My parents were really really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12 I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society ' so we moved to New York for the run of that.
  • 2. Old age believe me is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
  • 3. I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing – especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's amazing that this is still news to people but that affects the final outcome of the film. When people are treated well and they're made to feel valued they give 110 percent.
  • 2. I mean the whole idea of movies was it was special to go to see – you went to a movie theater to see something that was magical and amazing in a very special location.
  • 3. I got fitter when I did 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.' I wore a loincloth – that's a lot of motivation!

3 Anger

  • 1. Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear.
  • 2. I am ready to accept all accusations allegations anger – but I have to succeed.
  • 3. Allowing children to show their guilt show their grief show their anger takes the sting out of the situation.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 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. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The higher the building the lower the morals.
  • 2. I went to school for engineering I studied jazz. So I always had this kind of creative side and technical side and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them so I went to architecture school in New York.
  • 3. If architecture is as is sometimes said music set in concrete then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
