1 Age

  • 1. And in my own life in my own small way I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us – no matter what our age or background or walk of life – each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
  • 2. I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.
  • 3. I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did which was work in an office.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Recently I went to a disco with friends and all the young people were saying 'Dudamel we want to go to your concert but it's impossible because it's sold out.' It's really amazing.
  • 2. 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. I've done my best to work from a place of humility – always looking over your shoulder saying 'Does this suck?' and I think that's a good way to work. The other way to work is where you start to think 'I'm on fire I'm amazing!' and I don't think that's the way to work.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine if you want – but also some sort of sadness and plain mischief of course.
  • 2. When angry count to four when very angry swear.
  • 3. Anger is a good motivator.

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. This anniversary serves to help remind the American people that in the wake of one of the greatest political scandals and misuse of power in our history as a nation scandal produced important reforms that served this nation well for two decades.
  • 3. I've been sober for two-and-a-half years My children are happy. In August my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.

5 Architecture

  • 1. No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
  • 2. Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.
  • 3. Look architecture has a lot of places to hide behind a lot of excuses. 'The client made me do this.' 'The city made me do this.' 'Oh the budget.' I don't believe that anymore.
