This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work – they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night perhaps.

1 Age

  • 1. There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.
  • 2. I really think we should pass a law in every state I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.
  • 3. I'd always thought the Rats were good fun but one of the very nice things about being of Saga age is that I can actually look back and think When I was younger I was in a great band. It was always a collective thing.

2 Amazing

  • 2. I saw Ellen and my knees were weak. It was amazing. And it was very hard for me to get her out of my mind after that. Then when I saw her that night we started talking and that's that.
  • 3. My parents were kind of like me in that they had tons and tons of weird amazing stuff.

  • 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. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.
  • 2. Poetry is not only dream and vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
