  • 2. Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
  • 3. Work is transformative. It gives you a greater chance of a greater income. You can affect your life while you're of working age so you have scope and opportunity. Pensioners do not.

2 Amazing

  • 2. I'm lucky that my real-life Mom has both a great sense of humor about herself and an amazing ability to slip into complete denial if the subject matter gets a little too close to home.
  • 3. It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are.

3 Anger

  • 1. But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.
  • 2. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
  • 3. Anger is a transient hatred or at least very like it.

4 Anniversary

  • 3. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
  • 2. I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build.
  • 3. Architecture can't fully represent the chaos and turmoil that are part of the human personality but you need to put some of that turmoil into the architecture or it isn't real.
