Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different.
  • 2. Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.
  • 3. Even in this day and age if you're not married there are people who are like 'Awww! Don't worry it'll happen for you someday.'

2 Amazing

  • 1. I'm overly excited to finally announce this amazing global partnership deal back home with EMI Music. I know I have mentioned doing music in the past but for legal reasons I was not in a position to release any new music.
  • 2. It's kind of amazing how popular 'Grey's Anatomy' is. What other show can boast such an annoyingly sincere cast of doctors sniveling through such perfunctory love triangles?
  • 3. People never cease to amaze me.

3 Anger

  • 1. There's a lot of bitterness there's a lot of anger out there. We all have to work hard to heal those wounds.
  • 2. Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
  • 3. Anger's not a good emotion.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 2. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
  • 3. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I have designed the most buildings of any living American architect.
  • 2. Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
  • 3. I like things that are kind of eclectic when one thing doesn't go with another. That's why I love Rome. The town itself is that way. It's where Fascist architecture meets classic Renaissance where the ancient bangs up against the contemporary. It has a touch of everything. That's my style and that's what my work is about.
