1 Age

  • 1. Old age is far more than white hair wrinkles the feeling that it is too late and the game finished that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body but the indifference of the soul.
  • 2. Children also have artistic ability and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are the more instructive are the examples they furnish us and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
  • 3. 'Dallas' hit a chord back in the late Seventies and Eighties because it was the age of greed: here you have this unapologetic character who is mean and nasty and ruthless and does it all with an evil grin. I think people related to JR back then because we all have someone we know exactly like him. Everyone in the world knows a JR.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I work with all these amazing voice actors that do a kajillion voices.
  • 2. I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time I don't need holidays I just stop working.
  • 3. I'd do pretty much anything to get back on stage. I'd like to develop a new musical. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that they're developing John Waters' Cry-Baby because that is so amazing and super and wonderful and I wish that I could be involved. But it's not the right time and I understand that. But I hear things like that and I get that little tingle in my stomach.

3 Anger

  • 1. Somebody hits me I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.
  • 2. How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
  • 3. I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering and delivering with a sense of violent love.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 2. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
  • 3. We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we changing continue to love a changed person.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.
  • 2. The interior of the house personifies the private world the exterior of it is part of the outside world.
  • 3. Information and inspiration are everywhere… history art architecture everything an illustrator needs. Europe is after all the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
