1 Age

  • 1. A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50 and a fool if he doesn't afterward.

2 Amazing

  • 2. I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.
  • 3. I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody – from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.

3 Anger

  • 1. I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work and for the work I might be capable of.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I am so excited this year getting to play the 85th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone knows on Thanksgiving morning to get up turn on the TV and watch the parade so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to it. I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear though to stay warm!
  • 2. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse hopefully enduring and intimate to the degree of being sacred.
  • 3. My last trip to New Orleans was for the fifth anniversary of Katrina and I had the awesome opportunity to bring my family down. We all worked on a house together and met some of the families.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.
  • 2. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
  • 3. Architecture is a slow business and city planning even slower.
