1 Age

  • 1. Children under five are the poorest age group in America and one in four infants toddlers and preschoolers are poor during the years of greatest brain development.
  • 2. Better pass boldly into that other world in the full glory of some passion than fade and wither dismally with age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don't accept it and you're having a conversation with someone who does it's just one of those polite things where you don't question their belief in ghosts. You just go 'Oh yeah okay.' It's amazing to be able to have conversations like that.
  • 2. Christina Ricci is amazing the most professional actor I think I've ever met. You can be chatting with her and when they call action she's right there.
  • 3. I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap and I see why. There is a certain slickness – there's nothing better than an amazing musical but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.

3 Anger

  • 1. The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul angry or gentle. Anger is just and pity is just but judgement is never just.
  • 2. There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust.
  • 3. Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom because you're on the front lines.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
  • 3. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.

5 Architecture

  • 1. After about the first Millennium Italy was the cradle of Romanesque architecture which spread throughout Europe much of it extending the structural daring with minimal visual elaboration.
  • 2. What has happened to architecture since the second world war that the only passers-by who can contemplate it without pain are those equipped with a white stick and a dog?
  • 3. Architecture can't fully represent the chaos and turmoil that are part of the human personality but you need to put some of that turmoil into the architecture or it isn't real.
