Feudal societies don't create great cinema we have great theatre. The egalitarian societies create great cinema. The Americans the French. Because equality is sort of what the cinema deals with. It deals with stories which don't fall into 'Everybody in their place and who's who ' and all that. But the theatre's full of that.

1 Age

  • 1. I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.
  • 2. In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.
  • 3. In a spiritually sensitive culture then it might well be that age is something to be admired or envied.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences.
  • 2. A police force wherever they are is made up of amazing people and I respect them a great deal.
  • 3. The things that people do now in sports you can't even believe. These are complete total athletes. To see what human beings can do in the highest level is amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio and gets you to work – though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.
  • 2. There is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.
  • 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 did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
  • 2. Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays I go Fridays.
  • 3. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
  • 2. Rationalism is the enemy of art though necessary as a basis for architecture.
  • 3. An important work of architecture will create polemics.
