1 Age

  • 1. There was no respect for youth when I was young and now that I am old there is no respect for age I missed it coming and going.
  • 2. I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.
  • 3. Middle age occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.
  • 2. Becoming food savvy is one thing but it's amazing how fast savvy turns to snooty and snooty leaves you preparing three-hour meals that break your budget and that the kids won't even eat.
  • 3. To me when a great band is playing together it's amazing for me.

3 Anger

  • 1. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.
  • 2. I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested but I went into a diversion programme and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment.
  • 3. Anger becomes limiting restricting. You can't see through it. While anger is there look at that too. But after a while you have to look at something else.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 2. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team the only undefeated season.
  • 3. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
  • 2. Winning a competition in architecture is a ticket to oblivion. It's just an idea. Ninety-nine per cent never get built.
  • 3. And when an architect has designed a house with large windows which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.
