1 Age

  • 1. Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.
  • 2. These days too many of us seem inclined to cover our ears close our eyes and blindly follow the most narrow conservative tenets of religion or else seek comfort in the ancient traditions of New Age ritual.
  • 3. I never felt totally 100% patriotically English… I'd seen a lot of the world by an early age – sort of spent a lot of time traveling around Lebanon and I'd seen Babylon and Damascus and all sorts of places in the Middle East by the time I was ten. Then we'd return to Ruslip in West London… Done a fair bit of traveling really.

2 Amazing

  • 2. Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material.
  • 3. As far as the girls in my grade it was always kind of an on-and-off thing. When all this came up it was kind of hard. My guy friends and my family friends have been so amazing and supportive.

3 Anger

  • 2. I share the anger but ultimately to govern this country it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people.
  • 3. Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.

  • 3. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Until the Eighties Oslo was a rather boring town but it's changed a lot and is now much more cosmopolitan. If I go downtown I visit the harbour to see the tall ships and the ferries and to admire the modern architecture such as the Opera House or the new Astrup Fearnley Museum on the water's edge.
  • 2. In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
  • 3. The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
