1 Age

  • 1. We are all geniuses up to the age of ten.
  • 2. I was born in ancient times at the end of the world in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family. No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist – although the term had not reached Chile yet so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.
  • 3. Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation a race a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I was interested in transcendence from a very early age. I was interested in what was over there what was behind life. So when I had my first communion I was very disappointed.

  • 2. I went to an amazing school in Brooklyn called St. Anne's that's a really kind of creative hot bed.
  • 3. It's amazing how ideas start out isn't it?

3 Anger

  • 1. The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart the less capable you are of loving in the present.
  • 2. My friends love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
  • 3. But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.

4 Anniversary

  • 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. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
  • 2. If a building becomes architecture then it is art.
  • 3. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
