1 Age

  • 1. We now have an opportunity though to do something we didn't do in the industrial age and that is to get a leg up on this to bring the public in quickly to have an informed debate.
  • 2. TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary with independent films you just can't.
  • 3. Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm no actor. And I wasn't like George Lucas or Spielberg making home movies as a teenager either. But I would go back and watch certain movies again and again. By the time I saw 'The Graduate' I was aware of how these amazing stories could be told.
  • 2. Every time I got 'Amazing Spider-Man' or 'Fantastic Four' or another book firmly on the rails we got pulled into some big event book or crossover and it cost momentum and messed badly with the pacing and structure of the book.
  • 3. People never cease to amaze me.

3 Anger

  • 1. Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative and by being creative you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
  • 2. The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'
  • 3. Anger's not a good emotion.

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. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
  • 3. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. That Moorish architecture is all over the place of course. It affects me everywhere I see it as it does so many people. But Brand Library was a special place to me and I know I've paid homage to it many times in my drawings.
  • 2. The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.
  • 3. What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.
