  • 1. But I think it's a little different in Europe because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That's when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit.
  • 2. I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.
  • 3. Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.

2 Amazing

  • 3. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'

5 Architecture

  • 1. The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.
  • 2. Architecture aims at Eternity.
