1 Age

  • 1. To keep the heart unwrinkled to be hopeful kindly cheerful reverent – that is to triumph over old age.
  • 2. It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it with very old people.
  • 3. As a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene. Well as it turned out I never wrote a great novel sadly and I never converted to Catholicism happily but I did do one thing he did. That is in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.
  • 2. Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with. I'll love that guy to the end of time.
  • 3. Well I want to do The Music Man. I think it's an amazing opportunity but I think that they are probably looking at major movie stars right now and I don't blame them.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance.
  • 2. It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'
  • 3. To rule one's anger is well to prevent it is better.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years… it's unbelievable.
  • 2. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
  • 3. 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.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The intellectual architecture means focusing on doing great work instead of focusing on agency politics.
  • 2. Architecture is invention.
  • 3. My passion and great enjoyment for architecture and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it is because I believe we – architects – can effect the quality of life of the people.
