Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.
  • 2. I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing – especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.
  • 3. For a man who has compared himself to Theodore Roosevelt and the nation's challenges to those of the Gilded Age Obama put forward a tepid agenda.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.
  • 2. I just enjoy working with really wonderful actors and amazing creative people and I hope to keep doing that no matter where.
  • 3. Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.

3 Anger

  • 1. I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.
  • 2. I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.
  • 3. I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.

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. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.
  • 3. June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
  • 2. Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion some polemic I think is good. It shows that people are interested people are involved.
  • 3. Less is more.
