1 Age

  • 1. Your 40s are a major trough. About the age of 50 feelings of satisfaction begin to rebound and keep rising into your 50s 60s and 70s with health being a major factor.
  • 2. I came back to work when my children were two months old. At that early age they seem to have little awareness of anybody but their Raggedy Ann dolls so it wasn't a matter of them missing me. I was missing them.
  • 3. We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them however has not changed.

2 Amazing

  • 1. May your trails be crooked winding lonesome dangerous leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
  • 2. For the past 21 years I've been privileged to be part of an amazing organization called the International Women's Media Foundation.
  • 3. When we're on set we kind of joke around and when we're rehearsing we change up the scenes and make each other laugh. We lighten up the mood. The blooper reel is going to be amazing on 'New Moon.'

3 Anger

  • 1. But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.
  • 2. A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf if it's for others deserving of your anger your empathy.
  • 3. The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame… the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.
  • 3. Marriage is the most natural state of man and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.
  • 2. Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.
  • 3. Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
