Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day and thinks to please by its old graces it is only an object of ridicule.
  • 2. Age for me is just a number.
  • 3. Every age develops its own peculiar forms of pathology which express in exaggerated form its underlying character structure.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved and you can have great marriages and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television.
  • 2. Wasim and Waqar were amazing bowlers. I would put them right up there with the best in the world.
  • 3. Alexander Gonzalez Inarritu is a great director. He's the one I first worked with. He's amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway and those are punished most who most obey.
  • 2. Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
  • 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. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
  • 2. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 3. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Revived in this country the long forgotten beauties of Gothic architecture.
  • 2. Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.
  • 3. The building of the architecture of a novel – the craft of it – is something I never tire of.
