Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I don't know whether it's age or maturity but I certainly find myself committed more and more to the looser forms of Western democracy at any price.
  • 2. I never felt totally 100% patriotically English… I'd seen a lot of the world by an early age – sort of spent a lot of time traveling around Lebanon and I'd seen Babylon and Damascus and all sorts of places in the Middle East by the time I was ten. Then we'd return to Ruslip in West London… Done a fair bit of traveling really.
  • 3. Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Moby Dick – that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed that's how my book begins too but I hadn't noticed the parallel before two characters forced to share a bed reluctantly.
  • 2. As his partner on this amazing journey I can tell you Mitt Romney was not handed success. He built it.
  • 3. I am married to the most amazing generous and beautiful human being and it has been hard on him because from the outside if you look at it it's just all about me.

3 Anger

  • 1. And I think there's something about conservatives frankly – and the Left when it comes to their channels of persuasion are unpersuasive. They are most of them are hate-filled obscenity-clogged rants of anger and hatred.
  • 2. The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
  • 3. I have a right to my anger and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be that it's not nice to be and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.
  • 2. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.
  • 3. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.

5 Architecture

  • 1. You might say that when you step inside you're entering a honorific space but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
  • 2. Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.
  • 3. Victorian architecture in the United States was copied straight from England.
