1 Age

  • 1. Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
  • 2. I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.
  • 3. My best friend just had a baby and she's my age. So I'm a godmom now which is crazy.

2 Amazing

  • 1. If you're writing you're starting in private. It can really be this amazing private freeing experience. Forget that it's for other people – that comes in later.
  • 2. The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is to me still amazing but then to win a Tony was just incredible.
  • 3. I would love to work with Paolo Nutini because he is so soulful and an amazing songwriter.

3 Anger

  • 1. Hatred is settled anger.
  • 2. I guess lyrically they're similar because they're talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. 'The Last One Alive ' for me is very simple. It's just about alienation really that causes anger.
  • 3. I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time then you really don't have a good life.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team the only undefeated season.
  • 3. Last week the House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring the victims and heroes of September 11th. As we commemorate the anniversary of 9-11 we must also remember that the threat is still very real today.

5 Architecture

  • 1. A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.
  • 2. Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
  • 3. You might say that when you step inside you're entering a honorific space but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
