1 Age

  • 1. With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.
  • 2. Old age is a tyrant who forbids under pain of death the pleasures of youth.
  • 3. How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.

2 Amazing

  • 3. After all these years it's still amazing what Obama is allowed to get away with. He says low gas prices in 2009 were caused by a terrible economy but then claims that the lower number of illegal aliens crossing the border is because of his border policies not the same lousy economy.

3 Anger

  • 1. Your anger is a gift.
  • 2. Anger is never without an argument but seldom with a good one.
  • 3. Anger may repast with thee for an hour but not repose for a night the continuance of anger is hatred the continuance of hatred turns malice.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. As the third anniversary of the September 11th attacks draws near we must ensure our nation is prepared to handle the continued threat of violence and terrorism on our country.
  • 3. We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. As a designer the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
  • 2. I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it so I signed up for acting instead.
  • 3. When I write now I do not invent situation characters or actions but rather structures and discursive forms textual groupings which are combined according to secret affinities among themselves as in architecture or the plastic arts.
