If architecture had nothing to do with art it would be astonishingly easy to build houses but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.
Charles was very intent to use his years as Prince of Wales to make his mark while he still had freedom of maneuver that he wouldn't have as King. The first subject he really went for was architecture. It made an impact.
I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources to move into the future.
I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting something connected to the fine arts.
No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
The reason why I love people and writing about them is because they don't always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn't have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I'm interested in the exceptions.
The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'
Another night I dreamed I saw my father sweeping out the barn floor clean and would not suffer the wheat to be brought in the barn. He appeared to me to be in anger.
Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face women have been trained to cut off anger.
I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I'm sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger or I'd have to accept that it happened.
In high school I dated a white woman. She would come to visit me on the rez. And her dad who was very racist didn't like that at all. And he told her one time 'You shouldn't go on the rez if you're white because Indians have a lot of anger in their heart.'
I'm an angry person angrier than most people would imagine I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger.
When I was younger I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
What I needed most was to love and to be loved eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me and sure enough I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy by suspicions and fear by burst of anger and quarrels.
He that would be angry and sin not must not be angry with anything but sin.
It's amazing that something only an atom thick can be an impenetrable barrier. You can have gas on one side and vacuum or liquid on the other and with a wall only one atom thick nothing would go through it.
Janet Jackson is an icon I've been honored to meet her a few times working with her would be amazing.
One person I've always wanted to work with who would be an amazing guest star would be James Earl Jones.
Science fiction is an amazing literature: plot elements that you would think would be completely worn out by now keep changing into surprising new forms.
I am auditioning again - getting back to theatre would be amazing.
Some of the most amazing human beings on the face of the planet go to sci-fi conventions although I'm sure a few of them wouldn't admit it.
It is pretty amazing. My parents who came from Nicaragua to the U.S. - who would have thought that they would have American kids on the Olympic team? I think that's the epitome of the Olympic dream.
I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody - from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.
For every five well-adjusted and smoothly functioning Americans there are two who never had the chance to discover themselves. It may well be because they have never been alone with themselves.
