Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. The sanitary and mechanical age we are now entering makes up for the mercy it grants to our sense of smell by the ferocity with which it assails our sense of hearing.
  • 2. The kids are old enough now – I just want to let them be kids. I don't want to comment on them too much. They're at an age where I just want to let them be kids.
  • 3. The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

2 Amazing

  • 1. When I go outside of L.A. no matter where it is really anywhere I go people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it's great. It's amazing. I'm just lucky.
  • 2. I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping but they might see the most amazing outfit and think 'When am I going to wear that?' so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.
  • 3. It's awesome to see something like 'Inception' which is just mind-blowing and amazing and it actually resonates with the audiences. I feel like that's rare.

3 Anger

  • 1. And we know there has been horrendous loss of life and suffering and we know that there is anger. Anyone who came anywhere near the general election in constituencies with a substantial Muslim population knows that.
  • 2. My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.
  • 3. I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.

5 Architecture

  • 1. They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
  • 2. Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It's just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built.
  • 3. I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.
