1 Age

  • 1. With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.
  • 2. How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
  • 3. The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My older brother Mike is an excellent trumpet player. By the time he was 12 he was playing around Kansas City in classical situations. He was already an amazing talent.
  • 2. Good acting is good acting however you learn it. Some people who haven't studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted – he's learned technique by working with people early on.
  • 3. One thing that is almost always said to me is I grew up with you. They are meeting me and feel that they actually grew up with me. I was with them during their play hours and thinking hours. I was a part of their childhoods. That's one of the most amazing things.

3 Anger

  • 1. Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway and those are punished most who most obey.
  • 2. Discussion is an exchange of knowledge an argument an exchange of ignorance.
  • 3. My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. It is a matter of public shame that while we have now commemorated our hundredth anniversary not one in every ten children attending Public schools throughout the colonies is acquainted with a single historical fact about Australia.
  • 3. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.
  • 2. Georgian architecture respected the scale of both the individual and the community.
  • 3. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
