1 Age

  • 1. I'll tell you there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.

  • 3. Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I think women are amazing and women's friendships are like a sisterhood and we should see more of it in television and film.
  • 2. It's really sad looking at people like Lindsay Lohan. She's an amazing actress but you see what happens when people know too much about your personal life. They start not being able to look at you the same way professionally. I don't want that to happen to me.
  • 3. I love watching amazing actors and actresses that you can't take your eyes off of because everything they are doing – even if it is just twiddling their thumbs or scratching their eye – it's just interesting.

3 Anger

  • 1. Speak when you are angry – and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.
  • 2. What influenced me was Tori Amos who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me and very inspiring before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'
  • 3. He who angers you conquers you.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. It is not the beauty of a building you should look at its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
  • 2. Until the Eighties Oslo was a rather boring town but it's changed a lot and is now much more cosmopolitan. If I go downtown I visit the harbour to see the tall ships and the ferries and to admire the modern architecture such as the Opera House or the new Astrup Fearnley Museum on the water's edge.
  • 3. A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
