1 Age

  • 1. You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
  • 2. Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
  • 3. It is well for the world that in most of us by the age of thirty the character has set like plaster and will never soften again.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.
  • 2. I thoroughly enjoyed working on Enemy of the State. Tony Scott is an important director and has an amazing ability to express himself and he doesn't do it in musical terms he does it in emotional terms. I got along really well with him.
  • 3. I tell you it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing – he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous – any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.

3 Anger

  • 1. Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio and gets you to work – though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.
  • 2. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.
  • 3. The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 2. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.
  • 2. I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
  • 3. A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.
