1 Age

  • 1. Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it you've got to start young.
  • 2. I have the problems of I must confess old age.
  • 3. My parents were really really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12 I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society ' so we moved to New York for the run of that.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene it works.
  • 2. I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing amazing things and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed. It's unbelievable.
  • 3. Because I've made a film with such an amazing director as Tarantino I'm much more conscious of working with good directors from now on so that's what's important to me. I don't really care about making a big movie – I just want to make good ones.

3 Anger

  • 1. Never do anything when you are in a temper for you will do everything wrong.
  • 2. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else you are the one who gets burned.
  • 3. As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 1 month ago the American people stopped to remember the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. We thought first and foremost of the selflessness patriotism and heroism by our troops our National Guard and Reserves.
  • 2. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
  • 3. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I think architecture has to be a gift.
  • 2. Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
  • 3. I don't find Hollywood interesting so I'm thinking of studying architecture instead.
