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. One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body but can never be so in mind.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The son has always felt like he was a footnote in one of the stories the father tells. The father is an amazing storyteller and one of the tales that he tells is how he met his wife.
  • 2. I've done my best to work from a place of humility – always looking over your shoulder saying 'Does this suck?' and I think that's a good way to work. The other way to work is where you start to think 'I'm on fire I'm amazing!' and I don't think that's the way to work.
  • 3. When we're on set we kind of joke around and when we're rehearsing we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. We lighten up the mood. The blooper reel is going to be amazing on 'New Moon.'

3 Anger

  • 1. My humour has always come from anger but I have to make sure I don't just get angry and jump on a soapbox.
  • 2. Never go to bed angry stay up and fight.
  • 3. Anger may be kindled in the noblest breasts: but in these slow droppings of an unforgiving temper never takes the shape of consistency of enduring hatred.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. As the third anniversary of the September 11th attacks draws near we must ensure our nation is prepared to handle the continued threat of violence and terrorism on our country.
  • 2. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
  • 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. I mean certainly writing painting photography dance architecture there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.
  • 2. Does an architecture to assuage the spirit have a place?
  • 3. Architecture is invention.
