1 Age

  • 1. I figured out it was a social thing what women were allowed to do. At a very young age I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
  • 2. Ours is essentially a tragic age so we refuse to take it tragically.
  • 3. I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age – which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick.
  • 2. Working on such a big film was amazing. I learned a lot. There weren't too many stunts just some doubling.
  • 3. I started walking at night with my sister in law which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It just kind of clears the mind it just makes you feel better things start to tighten a little bit.

3 Anger

  • 1. Most men's anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady they neither of them care for.
  • 2. But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.
  • 3. Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom because you're on the front lines.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.
  • 2. Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
  • 2. But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.
  • 3. An important work of architecture will create polemics.
