1 Age

  • 1. The year I was born 1956 was the peak year for babies being born and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided too.
  • 2. I must confess I was born at a very early age.
  • 3. I came back to work when my children were two months old. At that early age they seem to have little awareness of anybody but their Raggedy Ann dolls so it wasn't a matter of them missing me. I was missing them.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.
  • 2. It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
  • 3. There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day a pagan ceremony.

3 Anger

  • 1. Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
  • 2. It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
  • 3. Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. This anniversary serves to help remind the American people that in the wake of one of the greatest political scandals and misuse of power in our history as a nation scandal produced important reforms that served this nation well for two decades.

  • 3. Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I feel however that we architects have a special duty and mission… (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.
  • 2. Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.
  • 3. If architecture is as is sometimes said music set in concrete then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
