1 Age

  • 1. It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood all the work into middle age and all the regrets into old age.
  • 2. I've been very competitive by nature from a young age whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else or always wanting to be the first one in line.
  • 3. Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age making them less reactive and more patient and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started.

2 Amazing

  • 2. I've performed in Auburn Hills at The Palace so I haven't really been in downtown Detroit but I've been able to be here and I can really see what the city was. Like I can feel why Motown started here and how amazing it was.
  • 3. I imagine my children are going to save me from my vanity and be my passion and fill whatever fears I have of the amazing time I'm having right now being gone.

3 Anger

  • 3. Our humor turns our anger into a fine art.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.
  • 2. 1 month ago the American people stopped to remember the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. We thought first and foremost of the selflessness patriotism and heroism by our troops our National Guard and Reserves.
  • 3. On July 18 we will mark the 12th anniversary of the senseless loss of 85 lives in the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires Argentina.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Make big plans aim high in hope and work remembering that a noble logical diagram once recorded will not die.
  • 2. The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
  • 3. I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music architecture novels and plays. Anywhere that hits you.
