1 Age

  • 1. I never had little brothers so I was totally not used to hearing a lot of cussing at a young age! I learned what 'pull my finger' meant the hard way.
  • 2. A moment comes which comes but rarely in history when we step out from the old to the new when an age ends and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.
  • 3. I am as I've said merely competent. But in an age of incompetence that makes me extraordinary.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It was amazing that during rehearsals without any of the costume on the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time I didn't know I was doing it.
  • 2. Tell me why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
  • 3. 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.

3 Anger

  • 1. A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
  • 2. My dear brothers take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen slow to speak and slow to become angry for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Each year on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth America has the opportunity to reflect on our nation's progress towards the realization of his dream.
  • 2. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.
  • 3. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Consider the momentous event in architecture when the wall parted and the column became.
  • 2. Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science.
  • 3. What's fascinating about D.C. the exteriors are these elaborate structures this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework and then you go inside and it's crap-looking – apart from the White House which is beautiful.
