Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. An artist must be a reactionary. He has to stand out against the tenor of the age and not go flopping along.
  • 2. I want to sell to people my own age because that's the way I write songs.
  • 3. I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen there's always the town gossip – 'Oh did you hear about so and so or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.

2 Amazing

  • 1. When you're offered things it makes it so much easier to be indecisive. And it's silly because you can pass on some really amazing things.
  • 2. I don't want to wake up and not truly be enjoying my life and these amazing things around me.
  • 3. While I'm not a celebrity it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

3 Anger

  • 1. The fear really hits you. That's what you feel first. And then it's the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself.
  • 2. Hatred is settled anger.
  • 3. I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine if you want – but also some sort of sadness and plain mischief of course.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
  • 2. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I see architecture not as Gropius did as a moral venture as truth but as invention in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.
  • 2. Today's developer is a poor substitute for the committed entrepreneur of the last century for whom the work of architecture represented a chance to celebrate the worth of his enterprise.
  • 3. I would like to attend college in the future when I have time. I have always been interested in architecture so perhaps I would pursue a degree in that or business.
