Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until perhaps she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
  • 2. The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.
  • 3. In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it and given a family character as it were to the century.

2 Amazing

  • 1. There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.
  • 2. At that time I had recently finished a book called Amazing Grace which many people tell me is a very painful book to read. Well if it was painful to read it was also painful to write. I had pains in my chest for two years while I was writing that book.
  • 3. I just want to be a part of great stories whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.

3 Anger

  • 1. President Obama clearly cannot run on his record. All he's offering is more of the same. That's not good. Look at the economy. It's stagnating. And so what they're now going to try and do is bring this campaign down to little things distractions distortions smear fear anger frustration.
  • 2. Anger is never without an argument but seldom with a good one.
  • 3. The anger of a person who is strong can always bide its time.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 2. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.
  • 3. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.
  • 2. I like to play with architecture! It's my favorite game.
  • 3. Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
