1 Age

  • 1. Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
  • 2. We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.
  • 3. I think all writers of my age who are brought up on films probably by the age of 16 have seen many more films than they have read classics of literature. We can't help but be influenced by film. Film has got some great tricks that it's taught writers.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Isn't it amazing how celebrity status preempts even the most ingrained hatreds?
  • 2. I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord which is consistent with the Gospel but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.
  • 3. In our relationship we don't have that situation. I don't require what he needs and he doesn't require what I need. I know what I do I have an amazing life that nobody knows about.

3 Anger

  • 1. Let us not look back in anger nor forward in fear but around in awareness.
  • 2. The flame of anger bright and brief sharpens the barb of love.
  • 3. People are always angry at America. They're absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays I go Fridays.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. All architecture is great architecture after sunset perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art like the art of fireworks.
  • 2. I left science then I went into art but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
  • 3. Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks we must participate in the political struggle.
