1 Age

  • 1. Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.
  • 2. Old age: I fall asleep during the funerals of my friends.
  • 3. The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60 saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'

2 Amazing

  • 1. I feel like I have had the most amazing life in my public service.
  • 2. My dad was working abroad in Iraq and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him in Baghdad off and on. For the first ten years of my life we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East.
  • 3. I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody – from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.

3 Anger

  • 1. Take the high road. No matter how much strife and consternation frustration and anger you might be confronted with – don't go to that level.
  • 2. The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul angry or gentle. Anger is just and pity is just but judgement is never just.
  • 3. Your anger is a gift.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.
  • 2. Actually the year anniversary of what you just heard my son Grahame and I are going to be in a play together and I'm acting for the first time in front of an audience that doesn't consist of a high school drama class.
  • 3. June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.

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. All those involved in the construction of an architectural design from the architect to the builder have an attachment to the architecture although it's difficult to quantify the attachment.
  • 3. I left science then I went into art but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
