2 Amazing

  • 1. I always say I'm certain I changed 'Watchmen' less than the Coen brothers changed 'No Country for Old Men.' I'm certain of it. But you don't hear the Cormac McCarthy fans like up in arms about it. They should be. It's like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
  • 2. I was terribly shy when I was growing up I really wasn't confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool amazing person that I wanted to be.
  • 3. And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s which is my favorite time and we studied their camera movements their stocks the way they lit stuff the colors they used.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger cannot be dishonest.

  • 3. An angry man opens his mouth and shuts his eyes.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

  • 3. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.
  • 2. In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
  • 3. Today's developer is a poor substitute for the committed entrepreneur of the last century for whom the work of architecture represented a chance to celebrate the worth of his enterprise.
