1 Age

  • 1. From as long as literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns word jokes I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked.
  • 2. I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things but you're old enough too.
  • 3. I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now maybe things would happen for me but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians 12 dancers two major guest stars 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I just feel energized when I am around young talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.
  • 2. I've been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real amazing dramatic story. Then I did a movie called Company Men a little comedy about the Bay of Pigs.
  • 3. As a planning board commissioner I have to review the applications for development throughout the city and the bulk of those applications have been for the waterfront. I think the progress the waterfront has made is amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Deep down my mom had long suspected I was gay… Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told.
  • 2. George wrote Taxman and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.
  • 3. Never go to bed angry stay up and fight.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.
  • 2. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.
  • 3. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.
  • 2. The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.
  • 3. The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.
