1 Age

  • 1. Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.
  • 2. I think it's quite extraordinary that people cast me as if I'm Warren Beatty: until I met my present wife at the age of 35 you could name two girlfriends.
  • 3. With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The perfect life would be to have an amazing part every year and to spend all my free time to just write.
  • 2. Theatre when it is at its best takes a lot of beating – the live experience and the shared collective experience of live storytelling is really special when it is good. Particularly here in New York because the audiences are amazing very vocal and very engaged and that makes theatre very exciting.
  • 3. My time at Honda was amazing. Some of my best times in Formula One actually. I might not have won races just one race but I had a lot of fun.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.
  • 2. I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.
  • 3. The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 2. I've been sober for two-and-a-half years My children are happy. In August my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.
  • 3. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

5 Architecture

  • 1. But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.
  • 2. The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned with remembering the dead than the living.
  • 3. Architecture is invention.
