1 Age

  • 3. The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm not an Adonis that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.
  • 2. In America Blackberry Farm in Tennessee is one of the most amazing hotels I've had the privilege of staying at.
  • 3. I think I came across Cecil Taylor a bit later in 65 or 66. That really impressed me – Cecil Taylor is an amazing character… Both his music and the way he approaches the instrument are astonishing.

3 Anger

  • 2. Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him.
  • 3. Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 3. Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I call architecture frozen music.
  • 2. Switzerland is a small steep country much more up and down than sideways and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.
  • 3. I would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.
