1 Age

  • 1. No Congress ever has seen fit to amend the Constitution to address any issue related to marriage. No Constitutional Amendment was needed to ban polygamy or bigamy nor was a Constitutional Amendment needed to set a uniform age of majority to ban child marriages.
  • 2. Because of my age and because there's more work on the small screen. What it's missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor's selfish point of view.
  • 3. It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity and indeed of every age in the world have passed through this fiery persecution.

2 Amazing

  • 1. And Shanghai is amazing. I'm a fan of science fiction so when you're there in the night with all the lights and all this modernity it's like a set in a movie.
  • 2. I spent well over a year on the road with Sarah Vaughn. That was amazing.
  • 3. In the past few years we've been doing amazing stuff with desserts. Pastry chefs have been using herbs and spices in their desserts. So vanilla cake doesn't have to be just vanilla it can have a little thyme. Or you could have a custard with a little lavender in it which is just amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. He who angers you conquers you.
  • 2. When we can lay down our fear and anger and choose responses other than aggression we create the conditions for bringing out the best in us humans.
  • 3. The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Buildings should serve people not the other way around.
  • 2. An architect's most useful tools are an eraser at the drafting board and a wrecking bar at the site.
  • 3. I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting something connected to the fine arts.
