1 Age

  • 1. I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29 I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say when you're 32 you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment where my age catches up with my appearance.
  • 2. I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal but I just don't care. I live once.
  • 3. I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling no matter their age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Working with Omarion is pretty amazing. That's like my brother. He's really cool.
  • 2. With most British actors it's amazing. I think they start with the character on the outside and work in.
  • 3. May your trails be crooked winding lonesome dangerous leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

3 Anger

  • 1. As far as having peace within myself the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.
  • 2. In the final analysis the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within.
  • 3. I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor the challenge of tapping into that reaching down into that sadness or anger is very therapeutic.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
  • 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. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. As a designer the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
  • 2. Even at the United Nations where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent one window not so great.
  • 3. My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we – architects – can effect the quality of life of the people.
