1 Age

  • 1. You hit a certain age and – especially because of TV – the young cooks coming up say 'You're a sellout because you're doing something other than what you should be doing.' 'Top Chef' is a double-edged sword for me: There's a whole group of people who will not come to the restaurants because they assume I'm not in them anymore all I do is TV.
  • 2. When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If you've got an adolescent boy you're in the sweet spot for trouble.
  • 3. Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it's more accurate than education age income gender or race.

  • 2. You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside.

3 Anger

  • 2. My character had been in the chair for seven years. He had gone through his anger depression drug and alcohol abuse. He had gone through everything now he was up he was happy he was filled with his dream.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
  • 2. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 3. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.

5 Architecture

  • 1. What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.
  • 2. All architecture is great architecture after sunset perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art like the art of fireworks.
  • 3. The same sort of thing happened in my dispute with the National Trust book: Follies: A National Trust Guide which implied that the only pleasure you can get from Folly architecture is by calling the architect mad and by laughing at the architecture.
