1 Age

  • 1. Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.
  • 2. I can't look in the mirror and look at fake things. I just can't. I'd rather age.
  • 3. We have become a society that can't self-correct that can't address its obvious problems that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that – for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati – we can't wake up from.

2 Amazing

  • 1. So it was good for me to play a likable person and it was just an amazing situation to be in.

  • 3. Oh my God this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.

3 Anger

  • 2. A lot of my humor does come from anger. It's like you're not gonna pull one over on me – which is pretty much my motto anyways.
  • 3. I don't think I could play a character that I couldn't relate to somehow. I'm not unfamiliar with frustration anger shame helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration that sense of unfairness and multiply it.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.

5 Architecture

  • 1. If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture.
  • 2. You look at the steamboat the railroad the car the airplane – not all of these were invented in the Anglo-American world but they were popularized and extended by it. They were made possible by the financial architecture the capital intensive operations invented and developed by the Anglo-Americans.
  • 3. It is impossible as impossible as to raise the dead to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman can never be recalled.
