Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Every great architect is – necessarily – a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time his day his age.
  • 2. The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.
  • 3. I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The amazing thing now is that most of those so-called critics who were telling me to find my own voice seem to have lost theirs.
  • 2. I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples – Natalie Portman Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jodie Foster Drew Barrymore – of people who have made it through.
  • 3. It's so amazing standing on the corner -this happened in Washington D.C. – and somebody comes by in a Cadillac and you hear 'Manic Monday' on the radio and you don't even know this person and they're listening to it and singing along with it. Wow! Blows your mind.

3 Anger

  • 1. People are always angry at America. They're absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.
  • 2. Anger is one of the sinews of the soul.
  • 3. I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw the worse things got for me musically.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
