1 Age

  • 1. Few women I fear have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
  • 2. It was Julie Burchill who decreed that beyond a certain age a man should not be seen in a leather jacket.
  • 3. Any new financial order for the world must tackle the three chief challenges of our age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Definitely they write themselves. It's an amazing experience. It's like the characters have come alive and are sitting on my shoulder talking to me telling me their tales.
  • 2. In my fifty years of experience and memory I have seen the most amazing increase in the standard of living of a people ever achieved anywhere in the world. This is why I am so sure that our system of free competition and industrial development is sound and must be preserved.
  • 3. I studied voice for about two years with an amazing coach and I never rose above the level of mediocre.

3 Anger

  • 1. Guilt is anger directed at ourselves – at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others – at what they did or did not do.
  • 2. Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
  • 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

  • 1. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.
  • 2. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
  • 3. 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.'

5 Architecture

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. If architecture is as is sometimes said music set in concrete then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
  • 3. It is not the beauty of a building you should look at its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
