1 Age

  • 1. I've lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point.
  • 2. To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.
  • 3. Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Dick Van Dyke was my first idol. He's an amazing physical comedian like a classic clown but also very smart and not afraid to show vulnerability.
  • 2. To be honest everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that if I didn't have time off I wouldn't be able to focus on.
  • 3. I've got some incredible fans actually – so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Us investigators who went out into the field were faced on occasion with a lot of anger by people saying why has it taken you five or six year to come and see me?
  • 2. I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
  • 3. I want to express myself to feel that what I feel is real. My joy my pain my anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.
  • 3. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'

5 Architecture

  • 1. I could have been an architect but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.
  • 2. I love building spaces: architecture furniture all of it probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
  • 3. I would fix other people's lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.
