1 Age

  • 1. Old age: I fall asleep during the funerals of my friends.
  • 2. Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession education hours worked age marital status and children men still are compensated substantially more – even in professions like nursing dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap.
  • 3. If you live to be one hundred you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I think being on a TV show is amazing but also people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.
  • 2. First of all plain and simple you have no real idea of what it means to be famous until you become famous. It's a double-edged sword. Obviously there are a lot of amazing things about fame but there are also a lot of challenging things about it.
  • 3. You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ whaddya know – I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.

3 Anger

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him.
  • 3. We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.
  • 2. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 3. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture in general is frozen music.
  • 2. But the building's identity resided in the ornament.
  • 3. If you're into architecture and you're from the West everything is hors d'oeuvres for working to rebuild the Temple. Ultimately you're led there. You can't escape it.
