1 Age

  • 1. I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.
  • 2. Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much we feel so little.
  • 3. I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – 'I'm going to get married at this age I'm going to have a kid at this age' – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 'Aladdin' was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie. 'Aladdin' was an amazing adventure and the lead character was a hero for guys which I loved. It wasn't a princess or a girl beating the odds it was a street rat. That seemed really cool to me.
  • 2. Turns out I couldn't catch them – or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.
  • 3. I put the costume on and said 'It's not very comfortable but it looks amazing ' so it's all good.

3 Anger

  • 1. The nice thing about anger is that as an emotion it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry.
  • 2. Anger cannot be dishonest.
  • 3. My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior but should be based on the facts.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 2. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
  • 3. It is a matter of public shame that while we have now commemorated our hundredth anniversary not one in every ten children attending Public schools throughout the colonies is acquainted with a single historical fact about Australia.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I think architecture has to be a gift.
  • 2. I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
  • 3. It is impossible as impossible as to raise the dead to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman can never be recalled.
