Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland. And when we moved to America it was just the typical thing except I was really good at it so was my brother.
  • 2. In order to fix Social Security we must restructure it so that we continue to provide for our Nation's seniors that are approaching retirement age but allow for younger taxpayers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in private accounts.
  • 3. My wife and I unlike many intellectuals spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I really have a great deal of humility in that department and a great deal of respect for people who spend their lives learning how to make these amazing preparations.
  • 2. I truly don't know why the boys are getting all the votes – it could be because they are really amazing and that's all there is to it. They're really really good and every single boy deserves to be in the competition right now and so do the two girls.
  • 3. It's a melting pot southern Africa. You find these cultural collisions that result in art and music and it's pretty amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate.
  • 2. Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face women have been trained to cut off anger.
  • 3. The great thing about celebrity culture is that they can't seem to stop themselves from displaying their ridiculous behaviour. I feel it's my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw the worse things got for me musically.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. If architecture had nothing to do with art it would be astonishingly easy to build houses but the architect's task – his most difficult task – is always that of selecting.
  • 2. Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structural planes seem more energetic.
  • 3. The way of architecture is the quiet voice that underlies it and has guided it from the beginning.
