Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Many believe – and I believe – that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
  • 2. Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
  • 3. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

2 Amazing

  • 1. What would be a show that I would rescue? If I could bring anything back it would be 'The Carol Burnett Show'. Tim Conway is just… I just watched him so many times do stuff over and over. He's just so amazing.
  • 2. I think this is the biggest win in my career. To beat Venus in Wimbledon is just something amazing.
  • 3. I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then I don't know I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room.

3 Anger

  • 1. When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.
  • 2. I use the music to vent and a lot of the stuff that I am writing about or was writing about contained a lot of anger and anxiety stress and depression so that's how the album came out so dark.
  • 3. I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.

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. The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. That Moorish architecture is all over the place of course. It affects me everywhere I see it as it does so many people. But Brand Library was a special place to me and I know I've paid homage to it many times in my drawings.
  • 2. Architecture is a visual art and the buildings speak for themselves.
  • 3. Yet for my part deeply as I am moved by the religious architecture of the Middle Ages I cannot honestly say that I ever felt the slightest emotion in any modern Gothic church.
