1 Age

  • 1. Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day you're dealing with the mind of a child so it opens up that childishness in you again.
  • 2. Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age making them less reactive and more patient and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started.
  • 3. Working on the 'Ice Age' movies I'm really proud to be in them.

2 Amazing

  • 2. If you're curious London's an amazing place.
  • 3. My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine if you want – but also some sort of sadness and plain mischief of course.
  • 2. In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

  • 2. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.
  • 3. Last week the House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring the victims and heroes of September 11th. As we commemorate the anniversary of 9-11 we must also remember that the threat is still very real today.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Even at the United Nations where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent one window not so great.
  • 2. The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.
  • 3. Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.
