1 Age

  • 1. I can't wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait.
  • 2. I just yesterday returned from a trip where I photographed a woman with two children whom I photographed first when she was the age of the older of the two children.
  • 3. The whole business of marshaling one's energies becomes more and more important as one grows older.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My whole family actually but my parents. I had such a normal and amazing childhood. I've been so lucky. My parents are cool and normal. They don't talk about the business and I still have stuff to do at their house.
  • 2. The amazing fact is that America is founded on a document. It's a work in progress. It can be tested by each generation.
  • 3. When you write biographies whether it's about Ben Franklin or Einstein you discover something amazing: They are human.

3 Anger

  • 1. I'm an angry person angrier than most people would imagine I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger.

  • 3. And I think there's something about conservatives frankly – and the Left when it comes to their channels of persuasion are unpersuasive. They are most of them are hate-filled obscenity-clogged rants of anger and hatred.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
  • 2. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
  • 2. Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking but all in harmony together.
  • 3. After World War II great strides were made in modern Japanese architecture not only in advanced technology allowing earthquake resistant tall buildings but expressing and infusing characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture in modern buildings.
