1 Age

  • 1. I've never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I'd get married in a minute if I weren't still married to somebody else.
  • 2. Anybody under the age of forty knows hip-hop gospel and R&ampB pretty well and it's all a part of what we consider to be 'black music.' There is a natural synergy between the three.
  • 3. My inspiration was my mom. She's a great cook and she still cooks and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that.

2 Amazing

  • 1. More and more couples are having this negotiation or discussion but I'm still amazed at the number who aren't and where the cultural norm sort of kicks in and they just assume that mom's got to be the one who stays home not dad.
  • 2. My parents were amazing people who had no business being together – and they knew it.
  • 3. It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

3 Anger

  • 1. I think that Scottish people like Canadians are often misunderstood and what I like about my Scottish friends and relatives is how quickly it can go from love to anger. It's a great dynamic.
  • 2. Something my mum taught me years and years and years ago is life's just too short to carry around a great bucket-load of anger and resentment and bitterness and hatreds and all that sort of stuff.
  • 3. There's nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.
  • 3. Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

5 Architecture

  • 1. My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.
  • 2. To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
  • 3. If architecture had nothing to do with art it would be astonishingly easy to build houses but the architect's task – his most difficult task – is always that of selecting.
