I'm well-travelled so I can see places coming up. I went to St. Croix in the West Indies at Christmas and it had been hit by a really bad tornado. Values there have gone down but I guarantee they will be up again in eight years. So I'll get in now while it's cheap as chips.

1 Age

  • 1. What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married under the age of 25 get divorced it's that 15% of them stay together. How did they manage to pull that off? You almost can't wait too long. It's the single simplest measure to predict divorce.
  • 2. I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.
  • 3. I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Because I've made a film with such an amazing director as Tarantino I'm much more conscious of working with good directors from now on so that's what's important to me. I don't really care about making a big movie – I just want to make good ones.
  • 2. It is amazing that something I did 23 years ago still has an audience that people respond to and I am touched and surprised that people are still very positive about.
  • 3. If you get half a million at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.

3 Anger

  • 1. I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.
  • 2. I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate.
  • 3. I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw the worse things got for me musically.
  • 3. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
  • 2. Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.
  • 3. I loved logic math computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.
