The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. We're the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well others think that we're down and are not going to get back up again but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years.

1 Age

  • 1. Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.
  • 2. I have the problems of I must confess old age.
  • 3. I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'd love to write something for a male protagonist. That's sort of the next frontier for me. I think it'd be really amazing to write the kind of parts that I love for women but for a guy.
  • 2. So much of 'Jaws' was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
  • 3. I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired ' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.

3 Anger

  • 1. Violence is a problem we all want to solve. I want to make sure that kids learn to deal with anger by learning how to talk with people to solve problems. Here in the United States Senate I want to make sure we have safe schools safe neighborhoods and good things for kids to do after school!
  • 2. I suppose there's an anger in all of us. Some hidden rage that you keep at bay.
  • 3. I'm not as angry as I used to be. But I can get in touch with that anger pretty quickly if I feel my space is being invaded or somebody is not treating me with the respect that I think I want.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays I go Fridays.

5 Architecture

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.
  • 3. I would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.
