1 Age

  • 1. Your body actually reminds you about your age and your injuries – the body has a stronger memory than your mind.
  • 2. I am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86 really. And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension which I had been seeking for a very long time is now sort of opening itself up to me.
  • 3. Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My mom can't defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman with such an open heart. It's a real hard line and I crossed it. I took everyone's life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty.
  • 2. The feeling of your baby taking nourishment from your body for the first time is amazing and it remains the most touching moment of my life.
  • 3. I really would love to do a piece like Julia Roberts or Charlize Theron in 'Erin Brockovich' or 'North Country.' They were both so amazing and so inspiring. I would love to touch someone in the way their performances touched me.

3 Anger

  • 1. I love each and every one of you but like my own family you thrill you frustrate you anger.
  • 2. So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me because I'm happy that I have them I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside like anger.
  • 3. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 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. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Every building is a prototype. No two are alike.
  • 2. The rules of navigation never navigated a ship. The rules of architecture never built a house.
  • 3. The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
