1 Age

  • 1. I was born in ancient times at the end of the world in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family. No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist – although the term had not reached Chile yet so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.
  • 2. I try to write lyrics so that they won't age which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.
  • 3. No matter what age you are or what your circumstances might be you are special and you still have something unique to offer. Your life because of who you are has meaning.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it that's God. And if we fight it if we swim the other way we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.
  • 3. It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.

3 Anger

  • 1. The components of anxiety stress fear and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world even though we talk about them as if they do.
  • 2. Insurgents have capitalized on popular resentment and anger towards the United States and the Iraqi government to build their own political financial and military support and the faith of Iraqi citizens in their new government has been severely undermined.
  • 3. Another night I dreamed I saw my father sweeping out the barn floor clean and would not suffer the wheat to be brought in the barn. He appeared to me to be in anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The same sort of thing happened in my dispute with the National Trust book: Follies: A National Trust Guide which implied that the only pleasure you can get from Folly architecture is by calling the architect mad and by laughing at the architecture.
  • 2. Japanese traditional architecture is created based on these conditions. This is the reason you have a very high degree of connection between the outside and inside in architecture.
  • 3. The new architecture of transparency and lightness comes from Japan and Europe.
