1 Age

  • 1. I think the sport of wrestling which I became involved with at the age of 14… I competed until I was 34 kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.
  • 2. Legend: A lie that has attained the dignity of age.
  • 3. Here comes 40. I'm feeling my age and I've ordered the Ferrari. I'm going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The body is an amazing machine… If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!

3 Anger

  • 1. And we know there has been horrendous loss of life and suffering and we know that there is anger. Anyone who came anywhere near the general election in constituencies with a substantial Muslim population knows that.

  • 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

  • 2. We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Poetry is not only dream and vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
  • 2. The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
  • 3. I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music architecture novels and plays. Anywhere that hits you.
