1 Age

  • 1. Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.
  • 2. It is not well to make great changes in old age.
  • 3. I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin my body my mind and try to live my life and be happy.

2 Amazing

  • 1. A few years back when my style was 'punk grandma ' I picked up an amazing pair of sandals – orthopaedic ones with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now because these days my look is more '1980s substitute teacher gone wild.'
  • 2. When I look into the crowd I see young and old black and white – it's amazing that I'm able to connect with so many different kinds of people.
  • 3. On the surface rock and roll changes at an amazing pace. The influence of a figure like the Maharishi can appear and disappear in a matter of months. Talk about old fashioned rock and roll finds itself dead before it begins.

3 Anger

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Anger tears me up inside… My own… or anyone else's.
  • 3. Most men's anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady they neither of them care for.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.
  • 2. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.
  • 3. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse hopefully enduring and intimate to the degree of being sacred.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I'd like to do a lot of things – whether in design or architecture or business.
  • 2. It seems a fantastic paradox but it is nevertheless a most important truth that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.
  • 3. I see music as fluid architecture.
