1 Age

  • 1. I will never be an old man. To me old age is always 15 years older than I am.
  • 2. Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
  • 3. We aren't in an information age we are in an entertainment age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny because I really love that sort of classic look and I like being girly and flowery and wearing little D&ampG dresses. I wear hats a lot too. I think it goes back to when I was a bit grungy and was a skater girl for a bit.
  • 2. Christopher Reeve did such an amazing job that to give him some kind of accent or more bravado would have been wrong. Audiences wouldn't have responded to that either.
  • 3. I've performed in Auburn Hills at The Palace so I haven't really been in downtown Detroit but I've been able to be here and I can really see what the city was. Like I can feel why Motown started here and how amazing it was.

3 Anger

  • 1. I understand Tea Partyers' anger with the system but they are in way over their heads and often racially motivated and I can't be part of that.
  • 2. To rule one's anger is well to prevent it is better.
  • 3. The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 2. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.
  • 3. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Without this spirit Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism I use architecture to reconcile the two.
  • 2. The English light is so very subtle so very soft and misty that the architecture responded with great delicacy of detail.
  • 3. All architecture is great architecture after sunset perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art like the art of fireworks.
