1 Age

  • 1. My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.
  • 2. I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.
  • 3. A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now particularly at my age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I was speaking to Ridley Scott the other day and he makes a film every 18 months. He's amazing really.
  • 2. I want to buy my mom a house I want my family to never have to worry about anything. And I just want to have an amazing career in music because I love to do it.
  • 3. I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then I don't know I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room.

3 Anger

  • 1. I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
  • 2. Let us not look back in anger nor forward in fear but around in awareness.
  • 3. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.
  • 2. This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.
  • 3. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

5 Architecture

  • 1. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
  • 2. People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course that's both liberating and alarming.
  • 3. My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.
