1 Age

  • 1. We're saying no changes for Medicare for people above the age of 55. And in order to keep the promise to current seniors who've already retired and organized their lives around this program you have to reform it for the next generation.
  • 2. The first feminine feature that goes with advancing age is the neck.
  • 3. Because of my age and because there's more work on the small screen. What it's missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor's selfish point of view.

2 Amazing

  • 1. With most British actors it's amazing. I think they start with the character on the outside and work in.
  • 2. United Artists wanted to do records with me. I had no idea what a rare thing that was… to make an album. And they put a guy with me working on songs and I got busy with films. I just kind of let it slide. Isn't that amazing?
  • 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. Life is precious and there's not a lot of room for anger.
  • 2. To rule one's anger is well to prevent it is better.
  • 3. I get in trouble when I say things like 'I'm attracted to violence.' I was a pretty angry kid and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
  • 2. The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
  • 3. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
  • 2. You might say that when you step inside you're entering a honorific space but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
  • 3. There is a lot of interest in the arts music theatre filmmaking engineering architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.
