Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Middle age: when you begin to exchange your emotions for symptoms.
  • 2. The hallmark of our age is the tension between aspirations and sluggish institutions.
  • 3. I think all writers of my age who are brought up on films probably by the age of 16 have seen many more films than they have read classics of literature. We can't help but be influenced by film. Film has got some great tricks that it's taught writers.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It is amazing to think after all that has happened in this country in the last few years the last few decades that so many people have this blind faith that government is our friend and therefore so we don't need protections against it.
  • 2. Christopher Reeve did such an amazing job that to give him some kind of accent or more bravado would have been wrong. Audiences wouldn't have responded to that either.
  • 3. L.A. Woman is amazing but when I was growing up I was into the Who.

3 Anger

  • 1. The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'
  • 2. Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom because you're on the front lines.
  • 3. I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 2. My last trip to New Orleans was for the fifth anniversary of Katrina and I had the awesome opportunity to bring my family down. We all worked on a house together and met some of the families.
  • 3. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
  • 2. Rationalism is the enemy of art though necessary as a basis for architecture.
  • 3. When I write now I do not invent situation characters or actions but rather structures and discursive forms textual groupings which are combined according to secret affinities among themselves as in architecture or the plastic arts.
