1 Age

  • 1. Well I'm in my 60s now. I finally look it I think. People until I was 60 would always say they thought I looked younger which I think without flattering myself I did but I think I certainly have as George Orwell says people do after a certain age the face they deserve.
  • 2. It lies in human nature that where you experience your first laughs you also remember the age kindly.
  • 3. You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something or the new crop of actresses and think Aren't we kind of the same age?

2 Amazing

  • 1. Well I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself that when I got on the cover it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.

3 Anger

  • 1. Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.
  • 2. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.
  • 3. And currently there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics Australian Federation my 50th Birthday and Sydney Dance Company's 25th Anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture.
  • 2. All those involved in the construction of an architectural design from the architect to the builder have an attachment to the architecture although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.
  • 3. Engineering medicine business architecture and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent – not with how things are but with how they might be – in short with design.
