1 Age

  • 1. Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.
  • 2. We aren't in an information age we are in an entertainment age.

2 Amazing

  • 2. You know I was a kid when I went into 'Coronation Street' and I had an amazing time. I got some fantastic opportunities from Corrie and from 'Soapstar' and I'd never say they did anything other than help me.

3 Anger

5 Architecture

  • 1. There was an age however when the transition from savagery to civilization with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture took place for the first time.
  • 2. If architecture is as is sometimes said music set in concrete then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
  • 3. 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.
