1 Age

  • 1. Look demanding somebody do anything in this day and age is not going to fly.
  • 2. I think it's pretty crazy to say you've been typecast at the age of 20 before you've even really started getting going.
  • 3. Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.

2 Amazing

  • 1. You don't have a lot of time you have to get it right. It's amazing how they create these episodes in such a short amount of time. They lavish a lot of care and money on each episode and they just look terrific.
  • 2. Most of the people I know who work out seriously do so because they have such an amazing outlook on life. To be who I want to be I'm going to work out to be more positive more active. It's proactive.
  • 3. I just want to be a part of great stories whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. On this important anniversary we must remember that while we have come a long way in eliminating barriers critical work remains to ensure all Americans can live up to their full potential.
  • 3. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.

5 Architecture

  • 1. But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.
  • 2. You can just drift unhappily towards this vision of heaven on earth and ultimately that is what architecture is a vision of: Heaven on earth at it's best.
  • 3. Switzerland is a small steep country much more up and down than sideways and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.
