Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I can't look in the mirror and look at fake things. I just can't. I'd rather age.
  • 2. I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things but you're old enough too.
  • 3. I wish I'd gotten sober at a younger age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they're incredibly good telly.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. If you spend enough time in or around Washington you'll meet amazing people who work for the government.

3 Anger

  • 1. My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today's music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.
  • 2. I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger rage fear sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.
  • 3. On banks I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer. There is much public anger about banks and it is well deserved.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. You will reciprocally promise love loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today before God you formulate.
  • 2. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 3. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

5 Architecture

  • 1. All real education is the architecture of the soul.
  • 2. Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.
  • 3. Japanese architecture is traditionally based on wooden structures that need renovating on a regular basis.
