1 Age

  • 1. It is well for the world that in most of us by the age of thirty the character has set like plaster and will never soften again.
  • 2. We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
  • 3. It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I discovered something amazing which has caused a lot of controversy – the fountain of youth. I have to keep it a secret!
  • 2. I've also long since realized that the way to really engage children is to give out prizes it's amazing how it concentrates their minds.
  • 3. I truly don't know why the boys are getting all the votes – it could be because they are really amazing and that's all there is to it. They're really really good and every single boy deserves to be in the competition right now and so do the two girls.

3 Anger

  • 1. Speak when you are angry – and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.
  • 2. Anger is a great force. If you control it it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.
  • 3. What influenced me was Tori Amos who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me and very inspiring before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'

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. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
  • 2. I would like to attend college in the future when I have time. I have always been interested in architecture so perhaps I would pursue a degree in that or business.
  • 3. You can just drift unhappily towards this vision of heaven on earth and ultimately that is what architecture is a vision of: Heaven on earth at it's best.
