Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. There are a lot of downsides to being male. We age faster and die younger. But give us this: we're lifetime baby-making machines. Women's reproductive abilities start to wane when they're as young as 35. Men? We're good to go pretty much till we're dead.
  • 2. Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.
  • 3. I worked hard in gymnastics since the time I was six years old until I retired at 23 years of age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It was really cool going to Sea World. We had an amazing time. They were amazing to us. We got to swim with the dolphins and it was really special.
  • 2. 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. The opportunity number one to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
  • 2. Let us not look back in anger nor forward in fear but around in awareness.
  • 3. If anger proceeds from a great cause it turns to fury if from a small cause it is peevishness and so is always either terrible or ridiculous.

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. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The process I go through in the art and the architecture I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.
  • 2. Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
  • 3. Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.
