1 Age

  • 1. A major advantage of age is learning to accept people without passing judgment.
  • 2. To be told that one can be dependent on one's parents until age 26 should strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning not as something to celebrate.
  • 3. Every age yearns for a more beautiful world. The deeper the desperation and the depression about the confusing present the more intense that yearning.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's nice because success has allowed me to have a blast on stage to be in the studio with amazing people but I find it all a bit bizarre.
  • 2. I always say I'm certain I changed 'Watchmen' less than the Coen brothers changed 'No Country for Old Men.' I'm certain of it. But you don't hear the Cormac McCarthy fans like up in arms about it. They should be. It's like an amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
  • 3. I started running outside when I was at 'Biggest Loser.' Then I got runner's knee and thought I was never going to be able to shake it. When I overcame that and ran the L.A. Marathon it was such an amazing thing and now running is such a part of my routine.

3 Anger

  • 1. Religion can emerge in all forms of feeling: here wild anger there the sweetest pain here consuming hatred there the childlike smile of serene humility.
  • 2. In high school I dated a white woman. She would come to visit me on the rez. And her dad who was very racist didn't like that at all. And he told her one time 'You shouldn't go on the rez if you're white because Indians have a lot of anger in their heart.'
  • 3. My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes cry rant and rave and at the sound of the bell simmer down and go about business as usual.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.
  • 2. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team the only undefeated season.
  • 3. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
  • 2. Yet for my part deeply as I am moved by the religious architecture of the Middle Ages I cannot honestly say that I ever felt the slightest emotion in any modern Gothic church.
  • 3. The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.
