1 Age

  • 1. I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity and mostly just be brave.
  • 2. I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.
  • 3. Starting a new retirement plan for those below a certain age is something tens of millions of Americans have already been through at work.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
  • 2. I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family a typical family with drama in certain areas and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.
  • 3. I was informed yesterday that there's a Twitter account for my laugh. Very hard to get used to things like that. Pretty amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Whoever incites anger has a strong insurance against indifference.
  • 2. Yeah to me acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.
  • 3. The components of anxiety stress fear and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world even though we talk about them as if they do.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
  • 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. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.
  • 2. I think architecture has to be a gift.
  • 3. Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.
