Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. It's ironic that at age 32 at probably the greatest moment of my career with The Godfather having such an enormous success I wasn't even aware of it because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
  • 2. If there is anything I would do differently in my life it is that I would study business more. I'm trying to teach my daughter Chloe at an early age about investing and money so she's not afraid of it.
  • 3. I am a grandmother now and that means age is creeping on creeping on.

2 Amazing

  • 1. There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day a pagan ceremony.
  • 2. Isn't it amazing the way the future succeeds in creating an appropriate past?
  • 3. Do you like my suit? I think this is an amazing suit don't you think?

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger's not a good emotion.
  • 2. There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
  • 3. Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 2. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.
  • 3. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Until the Eighties Oslo was a rather boring town but it's changed a lot and is now much more cosmopolitan. If I go downtown I visit the harbour to see the tall ships and the ferries and to admire the modern architecture such as the Opera House or the new Astrup Fearnley Museum on the water's edge.
  • 2. Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
  • 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.
