1 Age

  • 1. It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief as a smart man called it there isn't even more fraud. After all with no God there's no one to ever call you to account and no accounting at all if you can get away with it.
  • 2. I want to be age appropriate. I don't want to be that girl you see walking away and she looks 25 and then she turns around and she looks 90.
  • 3. Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age making them less reactive and more patient and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started.

2 Amazing

  • 2. I think Andrew Stanton is such an amazing creative mind.
  • 3. I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples – Natalie Portman Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jodie Foster Drew Barrymore – of people who have made it through.

3 Anger

  • 1. There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.
  • 2. For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface getting it back to that humble and tender spot where with luck it can lose its anger and become compassion again.
  • 3. In high school I dated a white woman. She would come to visit me on the rez. And her dad who was very racist didn't like that at all. And he told her one time 'You shouldn't go on the rez if you're white because Indians have a lot of anger in their heart.'

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 2. 1 month ago the American people stopped to remember the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. We thought first and foremost of the selflessness patriotism and heroism by our troops our National Guard and Reserves.
  • 3. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.

5 Architecture
