1 Age

  • 1. I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did which was work in an office.
  • 2. I never had little brothers so I was totally not used to hearing a lot of cussing at a young age! I learned what 'pull my finger' meant the hard way.
  • 3. Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Childbirth is more admirable than conquest more amazing than self-defense and as courageous as either one.

  • 3. I know so many amazing actors who don't get work… and then there are a bunch of real duds that work all the time. The industry is just not fair in that way.

3 Anger

  • 1. I've chosen my wedding ring large and heavy to continue forever. But exactly because of that all the time that Dave and I have an argument I feel it like handcuffs and on anger time I throw it in a basket. Poor Dave he bought me three wedding rings already!
  • 2. It absolutely helped – to write the father in both 'Juicy' and 'Beasts ' I had to see the whole story from his point of view. All of a sudden I understood more of what my own father must be going through – the fear the frustration the anger… the hope that he'll leave a legacy.
  • 3. Anger is one of the sinews of the soul.

  • 3. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse hopefully enduring and intimate to the degree of being sacred.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
  • 2. Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks we must participate in the political struggle.
  • 3. A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.
