1 Age

  • 1. You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.
  • 2. It's only at this age that I can say the word 'art' without flinching.
  • 3. If you explode onto the scene at a very young age there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I love MySpace it's done an amazing job for me and it's been insane over the past couple of weeks but I'm not a poster girl for them.
  • 2. I have amazing friends who have led inspirational lives.
  • 3. It's just amazing that there are so many prejudices even now.

3 Anger

  • 1. In the final analysis the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within.
  • 2. I don't think that you can fake warmth. You can fake lust jealousy anger those are all quite easy. But actual genuine warmth? I don't think you can fake it.
  • 3. Anger's not a good emotion.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

5 Architecture

  • 1. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
  • 2. I hate vacations. If you can build buildings why sit on the beach?
  • 3. Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.
