1 Age

  • 1. You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.
  • 2. Middle age is when your broad mind and narrow waist begin to change places.
  • 3. I was very successful from a very early age and I want to keep it.

2 Amazing

  • 1. At the New York Athletic Club they serve amazing food. People go there get healthy and then eat themselves to death – which is I suppose the right way to do it.
  • 2. It's really sad looking at people like Lindsay Lohan. She's an amazing actress but you see what happens when people know too much about your personal life. They start not being able to look at you the same way professionally. I don't want that to happen to me.
  • 3. We watch a lot of Discovery Channel shows like 'The Biggest Loser' and even 'Amazing Race.' You learn a lot about the world it's fun and nobody's interested in beating anybody down. And then the opposite: I'm a huge fan of 'Survivor.'

3 Anger

  • 1. The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
  • 2. Anger is implanted in us as sort of sting to make us gnash with our teeth against the devil to make us vehement against him not to set us in array against each other.
  • 3. Like fragile ice anger passes away in time.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.
  • 2. Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.
  • 3. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team the only undefeated season.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is my work and I've spent my whole life at a drawing board but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.
  • 2. I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
  • 3. Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
