1 Age

  • 1. The divine right of husbands like the divine right of kings may it is hoped in this enlightened age be contested without danger.
  • 2. Admiration of the proletariat like that of dams power stations and aeroplanes is part of the ideology of the machine age.
  • 3. To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.

2 Amazing

  • 1. When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
  • 2. It was amazing to me that all of a sudden I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
  • 3. I think the fact that I made enough noise in the world that I might be remembered is an amazing achievement. You can't ask for more than that.

3 Anger

  • 1. The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.
  • 2. On banks I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer. There is much public anger about banks and it is well deserved.
  • 3. I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
  • 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. A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love trust partnership tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Form follows function.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
