1 Age

  • 1. I would love a family. I'm at the age where the wish for a child gets stronger. But who knows.
  • 2. The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
  • 3. In the modern media age we are rarely surprised by what we see. Whether it's on television or film or in the theatre everything is so advertised so trailed that most entertainment is merely what you thought it was going to be like.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers – we grew up on the same street. I feel very special to have these amazing people in my life and if we hadn't all moved into this big house together I think I would have missed out on that because we would have drifted apart.
  • 2. Being a parent is amazing.
  • 3. Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends – I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.

3 Anger

  • 1. As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex.
  • 2. Discussion is an exchange of knowledge an argument an exchange of ignorance.
  • 3. 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.'

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
  • 3. Mr. Speaker I rise today to recognize the Peace Corps as it reached its 45th anniversary on March 1 2006.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.
  • 2. They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
  • 3. Trying to describe something musical is like dancing to architecture it's really difficult.
