1 Age

  • 1. Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
  • 2. No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
  • 3. One already feels like an anachronism writing novels in the age of what-ever-this-is-the-age-of but touring to promote them feels doubly anachronistic. The marketplace is showing an increasing intolerance for the time-honored practice of printing information on paper and shipping it around the country.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they're incredibly good telly.
  • 2. You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ whaddya know – I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
  • 3. My dad was working abroad in Iraq and he was a doctor. We used to go and visit him in Baghdad off and on. For the first ten years of my life we used to go backwards and forwards to Baghdad so that was quite amazing. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Middle East.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor the challenge of tapping into that reaching down into that sadness or anger is very therapeutic.
  • 2. A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf if it's for others deserving of your anger your empathy.
  • 3. I suppose there's an anger in all of us. Some hidden rage that you keep at bay.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 2. I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw the worse things got for me musically.
  • 3. On this important anniversary we must remember that while we have come a long way in eliminating barriers critical work remains to ensure all Americans can live up to their full potential.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I have no requirements for a style of architecture.
  • 2. If you give people nothingness they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.
  • 3. 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.
