1 Age

  • 1. Filth and old age I'm sure you will agree are powerful wardens upon chastity.
  • 2. The age in which we live this non-stop distraction is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline… because you need to be alone to find out anything.
  • 3. Old age is far more than white hair wrinkles the feeling that it is too late and the game finished that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body but the indifference of the soul.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Recently I went to a disco with friends and all the young people were saying 'Dudamel we want to go to your concert but it's impossible because it's sold out.' It's really amazing.
  • 2. Yoga's an amazing release.
  • 3. I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director and his sensibility – I wouldn't even know how to articulate it – it's just he's a very sensitive interesting guy.

3 Anger

  • 1. I understand Tea Partyers' anger with the system but they are in way over their heads and often racially motivated and I can't be part of that.
  • 2. I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.
  • 3. 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.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I am so excited this year getting to play the 85th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone knows on Thanksgiving morning to get up turn on the TV and watch the parade so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to it. I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear though to stay warm!
  • 2. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.
  • 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. I think architecture has to be a gift.
  • 2. I acquired an admiration for Japanese culture art and architecture and learned of the existence of the game of GO which I still play.
  • 3. Painting sculpture and architecture are finished but the art habit continues.
