Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I'm not busy… a woman with three children under the age of 10 wouldn't think my schedule looked so busy.
  • 2. Everybody past a certain age regardless of how they look on the outside pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives.
  • 3. It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity and indeed of every age in the world have passed through this fiery persecution.

2 Amazing

  • 1. But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it the more amazed I am by being here at all.
  • 2. France and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.
  • 3. Some people are born with a brain that has this weird magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.

3 Anger

  • 1. Let us not look back in anger nor forward in fear but around in awareness.
  • 2. I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.
  • 3. And we know there has been horrendous loss of life and suffering and we know that there is anger. Anyone who came anywhere near the general election in constituencies with a substantial Muslim population knows that.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. On July 18 we will mark the 12th anniversary of the senseless loss of 85 lives in the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires Argentina.
  • 2. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.
  • 3. Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

5 Architecture

  • 1. It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
  • 2. What has happened to architecture since the second world war that the only passers-by who can contemplate it without pain are those equipped with a white stick and a dog?
  • 3. My buildings will be my legacy… they will speak for me long after I'm gone.
