Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. In Hollywood you play a mom and the next thing you know you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast.
  • 2. It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief as a smart man called it there isn't even more fraud. After all with no God there's no one to ever call you to account and no accounting at all if you can get away with it.
  • 3. The trick is growing up without growing old.

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 always say I'm certain I changed 'Watchmen' less than the Coen brothers changed 'No Country for Old Men.' I'm certain of it. But you don't hear the Cormac McCarthy fans like up in arms about it. They should be. It's like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
  • 3. Working on such a big film was amazing. I learned a lot. There weren't too many stunts just some doubling.

3 Anger

  • 1. I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised.
  • 2. When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.
  • 3. If anger proceeds from a great cause it turns to fury if from a small cause it is peevishness and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.

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. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build.
  • 2. Vitality is radiated from exceptional art and architecture.
  • 3. I mean certainly writing painting photography dance architecture there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.
