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.

1 Age

  • 1. Time in general has always been a central obsession of mine – what it does to people how it can constitute a plot all on its own. So naturally I am interested in old age.
  • 2. A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him 'At my age I don't even buy green bananas.'
  • 3. Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out but I'm not complaining … Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Another little known fact about Amazing Tennis – the computer opponents are modeled after real people. In an odd turn of events I joined a division 3 college tennis team at age 38.
  • 2. I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody – from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.
  • 3. You know Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me and he's somebody who has produced an incredible amount of work and every single piece that he does is amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Whoever incites anger has a strong insurance against indifference.
  • 2. My friends love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
  • 3. To rule one's anger is well to prevent it is better.

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. 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. My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we – architects – can effect the quality of life of the people.
  • 2. Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort expressed in organic simplicity.
  • 3. Architecture is the learned game correct and magnificent of forms assembled in the light.
