1 Age

  • 1. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
  • 2. Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out but I'm not complaining … Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.
  • 3. At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them but I know I'm safe calling them that. Although of course I adore them too.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The right really dominates radio and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.
  • 2. It was a wonderful experience to work with Sylvia. She pushed me to be more powerful with my acting and she told me scores of the most incredible stories I've ever heard. She is amazing.
  • 3. Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny because I really love that sort of classic look and I like being girly and flowery and wearing little D&ampG dresses. I wear hats a lot too. I think it goes back to when I was a bit grungy and was a skater girl for a bit.

3 Anger

  • 2. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.
  • 3. Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The higher the building the lower the morals.
  • 2. Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences and adorned with much and varied learning by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts.
  • 3. To me a building – if it's beautiful – is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.
