1 Age

  • 1. Litigation takes the place of sex at middle age.
  • 2. Old age is a special problem for me because I've never been able to shed the mental image I have of myself – a lad of about 19.
  • 3. The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I don't think immortality is necessarily the key to understanding the world. You have to be careful with what you think you're achieving. I'm all for science discovering amazing and fantastic things about our world but I think the motivations behind it are slightly askew.
  • 2. To go to the Oscars for Moneyball – that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow – that's going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don't have to go back to being a waiter. That's still my main goal.
  • 3. I think physical comedy is an amazing asset because it tells a story that's more universal than just language and dialogue. I grew up watching Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. They're very powerful figures in my life.

3 Anger

  • 1. The anger of lovers renews their love.
  • 2. When I was younger I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
  • 3. I guess because I had such a horrible life growing up going from place to place not knowing what I was gonna do and ending up being homeless there was a lot of pain and a lot of anger that was coming out through my guitar playing.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.
  • 2. Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
  • 3. There was an age however when the transition from savagery to civilization with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture took place for the first time.
