1 Age

  • 1. Photography suits the temper of this age – of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas imagery for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting for one who sees quickly and acts decisively accurately.
  • 2. My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age race or financial status.
  • 3. What is an adult? A child blown up by age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. There is nothing like the way people feel after they've seen 'The Intouchables.' They feel amazing. The word of mouth on this film is incredible. It's intelligent-feeling good. You're not insulted by the low-browness or stupidity of some of the humor. It's so smart and terrific.
  • 2. Pebble Beach. It is tough and the lay out is amazing.
  • 3. Work hard be kind and amazing things will happen.

3 Anger

  • 1. The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
  • 2. Somebody hits me I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.
  • 3. When you learn that a truth is a lie anger follows.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 2. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 3. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.

5 Architecture

  • 1. We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.
  • 2. Architecture of all the arts is the one which acts the most slowly but the most surely on the soul.
  • 3. I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.
