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. Any young man who is unmarried at the age of twenty one is a menace to the community.
  • 3. When I write about a 15-year old I jump I return to the days when I was that age. It's like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly.

2 Amazing

  • 1. You know 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young and it was a show about old people and it was a very traditional show but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.
  • 2. Try as hard as we may for perfection the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.
  • 3. It's amazing how good getting up and moving makes you feel.

3 Anger

  • 1. It is only with burning anger that we can speak of this attack by counter-revolutionary reactionary elements against the capital of our country against our people's democratic order and the power of the working class.
  • 2. One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!
  • 2. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.
  • 2. I like to play with architecture! It's my favorite game.
  • 3. No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
