Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.
  • 2. Back in the 1960s I saw Peter Paul and Mary. I was at that age about 14 and I was mesmerized.
  • 3. It is not the young people that degenerate they are not spoiled till those of mature age are already sunk into corruption.

2 Amazing

  • 1. If we get the capabilities NATO along with the European Union can do amazing things.
  • 2. If you ever have the good fortune to meet Tippi Hedren she's an amazing woman. You can't quite believe she is the age she is.
  • 3. The magic kit we developed with Idea Village is an extraordinary success in 40 000 stores across America. The TV commercial we shot for it has produced amazing results – unbelievable.

3 Anger

  • 1. I did not want to put myself on the line as an Australian playing Britain's greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive possessive – and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger – or my own reputation.
  • 2. The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
  • 3. It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 2. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.
  • 3. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse hopefully enduring and intimate to the degree of being sacred.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
  • 2. In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.
  • 3. I see architecture not as Gropius did as a moral venture as truth but as invention in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.
