There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it it's like guilt it's like jealousy it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out because they're no good.

1 Age

  • 1. People until I was 60 would always say they thought I looked younger which I think without flattering myself I did but I think I certainly have as George Orwell says people do after a certain age the face they deserve.
  • 2. I don't want to fight aging I want to take good care of myself but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.
  • 3. I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades rather than whether someone's 42 or 47 you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.

2 Amazing

  • 1. You know the reward for 'Captain America' is amazing. It's always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff – the special effects.
  • 2. Working with Omarion is pretty amazing. That's like my brother. He's really cool.
  • 3. It was amazing to me that all of a sudden I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
  • 2. Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face women have been trained to cut off anger.
  • 3. After my second-to-last record 'The Greatest' I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of – it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself – but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. You will reciprocally promise love loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today before God you formulate.
  • 2. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 3. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.
  • 2. I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.
  • 3. Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
