  • 1. As human beings our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
  • 2. We're still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That's the old metaphor: You're born you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude.
  • 3. Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair.

2 Amazing

  • 3. But one of the amazing things about documentary is that you can remake it every time you make one. There is no rule about how a documentary film has to be made.

3 Anger

  • 3. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Georgian architecture respected the scale of both the individual and the community.
  • 2. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
  • 3. Architecture is about public space held by buildings.
