Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
  • 2. Everyone talks about age but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old.
  • 3. The young people have MTV and rock and roll. Why would they go to read poetry? Poetry belongs to the Stone Age. It awakens in us perceptions that go back to those times.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The really amazing part to me was when Florida made it into the Final Four the Democrats didn't demand a recount.
  • 2. My relationship with my mom is so amazing. We never got to have that stage that people go through like when you're 13 and you think you're too cool for your parents. When you're embarrassed by them and stuff. We never went through that because I was constantly working and she constantly had to be there.
  • 3. Turns out I couldn't catch them – or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.

3 Anger

  • 1. For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn't. I denied that it had affected me and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Get mad then get over it.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.
  • 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. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. But the building's identity resided in the ornament.
  • 2. I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
  • 3. Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.
