1 Age

  • 1. I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.
  • 2. For students today only 10 percent of children from working-class families graduate from college by the age of 24 as compared to 58 percent of upper-middle-class and wealthy families.
  • 3. Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Obviously there's the seedy side of the strip club world and pole dancing. But pole dancing as an art form is really beautiful. It's been hyper-sexualized because it's associated with strippers but if you think about it just in terms of other kinds of dancing they're using an instrument to create these amazing dance forms.
  • 2. I just had that conversation this morning with my doctor. I just got back from the hospital a half-hour ago and nothing will make me happier than to replicate the DNA of my amazing husband. I'm optimistic.
  • 3. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

3 Anger

  • 2. I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.
  • 3. Expressing anger is a form of public littering.

4 Anniversary

That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 2. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.
  • 3. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.

5 Architecture

  • 1. For many years I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose it seems to me must be the improvement of mankind.
  • 2. I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music architecture novels and plays. Anywhere that hits you.
  • 3. Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion some polemic I think is good. It shows that people are interested people are involved.
