1 Age

  • 1. When I was seventeen I worked as a counsellor at a co-ed sleep-away camp for eight weeks. I loved it but it could be harrowing – it was far too much responsibility for someone my age.
  • 2. To me old age is always fifteen years older than I am.
  • 3. Growing up on stage I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L'Oreal Paris iconic lipstick – it was instant glamour and I've been hooked ever since.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I went to an amazing school in Brooklyn called St. Anne's that's a really kind of creative hot bed.
  • 2. I have an amazing relationship with my wife but sometimes there are arguments. It happens.
  • 3. I had amazing stuff happen right off the top. I thought this was how it worked. Hollywood is awesome! Cut to three years later: What happened?

3 Anger

  • 1. I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.
  • 2. Beware of him that is slow to anger for when it is long coming it is the stronger when it comes and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
  • 3. I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.
  • 2. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.
  • 3. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The job of buildings is to improve human relations: architecture must ease them not make them worse.
  • 2. I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music architecture novels and plays. Anywhere that hits you.
  • 3. The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.
