1 Age

  • 1. Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
  • 2. Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age.
  • 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. If you have only 95 minutes of material make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.
  • 2. Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2 700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.
  • 3. I'm jamming 'Black Sabbath Vol. 4' all the time. Zappa's 'Cruising With Ruben &amp The Jets.' A lot of Gong lately. Some Hawkwind. The Residents' 'Duck Stab' is amazing. Some Fugs. Lots of stuff man. I'm pretty schizophrenic with records.

3 Anger

  • 1. The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul angry or gentle. Anger is just and pity is just but judgement is never just.
  • 2. When we can lay down our fear and anger and choose responses other than aggression we create the conditions for bringing out the best in us humans.
  • 3. There is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 2. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 3. Marriage is the most natural state of man and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.
  • 2. Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
  • 3. People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course that's both liberating and alarming.
