1 Age

  • 1. Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter.
  • 2. In the information age you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show.
  • 3. It's not always possible to sit down and eat at home in this day and age of fast-paced living but if you are going to eat out do so as a family and support all the great local places in your areas. I'll still eat at the same diner I did as a kid with my parents.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.
  • 2. When I go outside of L.A. no matter where it is really anywhere I go people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it's great. It's amazing. I'm just lucky.
  • 3. There are amazing schools and amazing educators that are doing a wonderful job. And then there are a lot of educators that are not prepared to deal with inclusive education. They haven't been trained. It's really quite lovely and easy when you understand how to do it.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
  • 2. A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off roused me into productivity and creativity.
  • 3. I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
  • 3. We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we changing continue to love a changed person.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The higher the building the lower the morals.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.
