1 Age

  • 1. It is old age rather than death that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
  • 2. It lies in human nature that where you experience your first laughs you also remember the age kindly.
  • 3. I want to be part of the resurgence of things that are tangible beautiful and soulful rather than just give in to the digital age. But when I talk to people about this they just say 'Yeah I know what you mean ' and stare at their mobiles.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.
  • 2. No Arrested Development was such an amazing experience in every way and you know it was very unique in that it was a show that received a lot of critical acclaim and yet we didn't ever achieve the ratings that we wanted.
  • 3. What I've enjoyed most though is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn – I love it!

3 Anger

  • 1. I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.
  • 2. There is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.
  • 3. There is not in nature a thing that makes man so deformed so beastly as doth intemperate anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse hopefully enduring and intimate to the degree of being sacred.
  • 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. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.

5 Architecture

  • 1. One of my favorite vacation places is Miami because of the people the water and the beach – of course – and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.
  • 2. The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.
  • 3. Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect I just started my own little design studio.
