Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. We hold that the most wonderful and splendid proof of genius is a great poem produced in a civilized age.
  • 2. I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal but I just don't care. I live once.
  • 3. An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.

2 Amazing

  • 1. To go to the Oscars for Moneyball – that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow – that's going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don't have to go back to being a waiter. That's still my main goal.
  • 2. It's so amazing to hear a crowd of people singing one of your songs. It's the best feeling.
  • 3. Of all the planets apart from Earth in our solar system Mars is the most hospitable. Yeah. Right. Better keep my visit short. And yet despite the discomfort the danger I love it here. I love coming back for these imaginary vacations. The sights are amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.
  • 2. He who angers you conquers you.
  • 3. A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. It is a matter of public shame that while we have now commemorated our hundredth anniversary not one in every ten children attending Public schools throughout the colonies is acquainted with a single historical fact about Australia.
  • 2. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I've never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced.
  • 2. I hate vacations. If you can build buildings why sit on the beach?
  • 3. Chicago is known for good steaks expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics violent crime and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country.
