1 Age

  • 1. Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age.
  • 2. There is a certain age at which a child looks at you in all earnestness and delivers a long pleased speech in all the true inflections of spoken English but with not one recognizable syllable.
  • 3. My view is pensioners don't have the one option that people of working age have. They can't really increase their income because they are no longer able to work.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'd said to my sweetheart a couple of days before that the SAG and Spirit Award nomination was amazing and I had no attachment to the Academy Award. I knew I was an underdog so I just decided to sleep through the announcement.
  • 2. What's great about TV and what I love about being on 'Parenthood ' is you have this family. I'm now going on four years of working with the same 100 people and that helps you feel like your life has more roots. It's more conducive to having a family and you're staying in town. So that part is amazing.
  • 3. The amazing fact is that America is founded on a document. It's a work in progress. It can be tested by each generation.

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. Anger is a great force. If you control it it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.
  • 3. I do like to write nasty songs. It's a useful weapon to have and it's cathartic as well because I create art out of anger something positive out of something negative.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. I've been sober for two-and-a-half years My children are happy. In August my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
  • 2. Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.
  • 3. 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.
