Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves 'where do I want to be today where do I want to be tomorrow and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.
  • 2. What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
  • 3. Old age is fifteen years older than I am.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The resilience of these people is amazing. I am a great believer that the sooner we get things up and running in terms of sport in this area the better.
  • 2. What you know about the people whom you know at all well is truly amazing even though you have never formulated it.
  • 3. I just enjoy working with really wonderful actors and amazing creative people and I hope to keep doing that no matter where.

3 Anger

  • 1. I was shocked at the anger toward me.
  • 2. I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work and for the work I might be capable of.
  • 3. When I was younger I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
  • 2. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.
  • 3. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.

5 Architecture

  • 1. You might say that when you step inside you're entering a honorific space but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
  • 2. Every man's work whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else is always a portrait of himself.
  • 3. When you look at Japanese traditional architecture you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious close contact with nature – this very unique to Japan.
