1 Age

  • 1. Whatever poet orator or sage may say of it old age is still old age.
  • 2. Our Age of Anxiety is in great part the result of trying to do today's job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts.
  • 3. Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day you're dealing with the mind of a child so it opens up that childishness in you again.

2 Amazing

  • 1. They say it's good but I didn't know what I was doing until I got into the suit and they put the moustache on me and somehow when I got all the drag on it came out. It was the most amazing thing. I'm truly extraordinary.
  • 2. New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It's amazing.
  • 3. And it is very sexy as well: somebody says I'm taking you on a surprise date you don't know where you are going and you can't see and then you put your hand out and there is a tiger. Amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. He who angers you conquers you.
  • 2. There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust.
  • 3. Somebody hits me I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
  • 2. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.
  • 3. We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
  • 2. Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
  • 3. The intellectual force of the West is still dominant but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning and that less will be based on our models.
