1 Age

  • 1. I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things but you're old enough too.
  • 2. Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession education hours worked age marital status and children men still are compensated substantially more – even in professions like nursing dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap.
  • 3. I was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston Illinois in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices – they were about my age but they were doing it.

2 Amazing

  • 1. What makes America amazing is that there have always been men and women of courage who were willing to think more about the future of their children and grandchildren than they did about their own political careers.
  • 2. I just wanna thank all those amazing Internet bloggers out there that hate me day-to-day. I love you! You rock!
  • 3. At first I missed it but it was the amazing energy thing that happened during shows when a lot of people were like Yay Yay Yeah! I missed that for a while. But I don't miss the regular and the business side of that whole thing.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.
  • 2. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
  • 3. A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off roused me into productivity and creativity.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
  • 2. The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
  • 3. Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
