1 Age

  • 1. Old age is the verdict of life.
  • 2. My habit would have been to veer towards the dark – to prove I was something edgy or maybe to prove that I was cognisant of the dark side. Now with age and confidence I can say yeah that's true but I am cognisant of the fact that people can do things well. And can be more loving than you expect.
  • 3. We're saying no changes for Medicare for people above the age of 55. And in order to keep the promise to current seniors who've already retired and organized their lives around this program you have to reform it for the next generation.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Amazing that the human race has taken enough time out from thinking about food or sex to create the arts and sciences.
  • 2. It was at Bell Labs that I first made direct contact with real semiconductor experts and thus began to fully understand what amazing materials they were and what they could do.
  • 3. My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers.

3 Anger

  • 1. It's a very difficult thing for people to accept seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.
  • 2. Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.
  • 3. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
  • 2. On this important anniversary we must remember that while we have come a long way in eliminating barriers critical work remains to ensure all Americans can live up to their full potential.
  • 3. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
  • 2. Painting sculpture and architecture are finished but the art habit continues.
  • 3. Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
