Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. 'Dallas' hit a chord back in the late Seventies and Eighties because it was the age of greed: here you have this unapologetic character who is mean and nasty and ruthless and does it all with an evil grin. I think people related to JR back then because we all have someone we know exactly like him. Everyone in the world knows a JR.
  • 2. It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity and indeed of every age in the world have passed through this fiery persecution.
  • 3. If youth knew if age could.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I have an amazing relationship with my wife but sometimes there are arguments. It happens.
  • 2. I have short goals – to get better every day to help my teammates every day – but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It's all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time how it would look how it would feel. It would be so amazing.
  • 3. I just think we're living in a time of massive amazing change like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

3 Anger

  • 1. Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
  • 2. Five enemies of peace inhabit with us – avarice ambition envy anger and pride if these were to be banished we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.
  • 3. Fear is the only true enemy born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
  • 2. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.
  • 3. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I was going to be an architect. I graduated with a degree in architecture and I had a scholarship to go back to Princeton and get my Masters in architecture. I'd done theatricals in college but I'd done them because it was fun.
  • 2. Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.
  • 3. Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.
