Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I began to speak well at a very advanced age – 15 16 17 years old. It was psychological: the trauma of war my family and growing up on my own. I was more or less a street kid.
  • 2. I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
  • 3. Age is a terrible avenger. The lessons of life give you so much to work with but by the time you've got all this great wisdom you don't get to be young anymore.

2 Amazing

  • 1. We're all doing different things and some of the girls are mums so priorities have changed. But I would love to do something with the Spice Girls again. I know we would have an amazing time.
  • 2. A police force wherever they are is made up of amazing people and I respect them a great deal.
  • 3. I suppose it's amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don't work.

3 Anger

  • 1. We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
  • 2. Genuine forgiveness does not deny anger but faces it head-on.
  • 3. Be modest humble simple. Control your anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
  • 2. Each year on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth America has the opportunity to reflect on our nation's progress towards the realization of his dream.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. If a building becomes architecture then it is art.
  • 2. A house is a machine for living in.
  • 3. If I have a style I am not aware of it.
