1 Age

  • 1. I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until perhaps she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
  • 2. My inspiration was my mom. She's a great cook and she still cooks and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that.
  • 3. I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.

2 Amazing

  • 2. So you know parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

3 Anger

  • 1. Be modest humble simple. Control your anger.
  • 2. People have said I'm the candidate of anger. Well we have a right to be angry. We lost 3 million jobs. We lost our place as the moral leader of the world.
  • 3. I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully 'cause it's important.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. I am so excited this year getting to play the 85th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone knows on Thanksgiving morning to get up turn on the TV and watch the parade so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to it. I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear though to stay warm!
  • 3. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building or architecture is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person and in the end they unite.
  • 2. Don't clap too hard – it's a very old building.
  • 3. Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
