Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.

For the first time perhaps since Margaret Thatcher, we will have at the head of the Conservative Party someone who is genuinely an equal match for Tony Blair.

I’ve been playing golf as long as I’ve been dancing, since I was 13 or 14. I play off six. I like to get out on a golf course as often as I can.

My life has gotten so much better since I turned 40.

My first job was a Greek tragedy, and ever since, one job just seemed to roll onto the next. I’ve been terribly lucky.

The Obama administration has been trying out a new policy toward Syria since the day it came to office. The Bush cold shoulder was viewed as a primitive reaction, now to be replaced by sophisticated...

I’ve had dialogues with my dead mother over the 40 years since she died.

I’ve been performing since 1955. I’m going to have to keep performing till I die because I’m not going to die in some rocking chair with a big ol’ beer belly.

The tenacious character I’ve possessed since I was a small child propelled me to successfully meet this challenge, and I was able to safely gain acceptance to the university of my choice.

I see my daft surname as a positive thing. It first dawned on me that I had a comical name when someone called me ‘Fishface’ on my first day at school. I’ve heard all the...

I feel that there has been progress made since I was a boy on matters of race, but we have a long way to go.

We need art. We’ve been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival.

The question is not whether Tibet should be independent but the extent of the autonomy that it is allowed. Tibet has been firmly ensconced as part of the Chinese empire since the Qing dynasty’s military...

I’d been bumming around in bands since my school days.

Since I do not believe that there should be different recommendations for people living in the Bronx and people living in Manhattan, I am uncomfortable making different recommendations for my patients in Boston and in...

I took lessons since I was little; I used to pay for my own singing lessons and take myself. Just take the bus when I was a kid and go. But I’d been writing music...

Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation.

Since Israel does not differentiate between attacking this group or that, we are saying our people can work individually or collectively to face this aggression.

I’ve been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want.

I’ve always wanted to make sure people are okay, ever since I was a little girl.

There’s a belief that since Africa got a raw deal from the colonial West, then the Chinese must be Africa’s best friend. But the evidence doesn’t show that, and the main criticism is that they...

In 1966, NASA took over in space, and it has been a bureaucratic mess ever since.

My biggest grouse since the time I filed for divorce has been that when all the drama unfolded, the children were made pawns. That should never be the case. You never know how it affects...

Jeff Beck is one of my heroes and has been since I first picked up a guitar.

Ever since I picked up a bass, I’ve written songs.

I’m very spiritual. I meditate every day. I don’t know if that’s surprising or not, but I’ve been doing that since I was 16 every day, so that’s like kind of my thing. I’m really...

I do not have a bride gene. I haven’t been planning a wedding since I was 3. I never put a sheet on my head and pretended that it was a veil.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written old-fashioned sword and sorcery; I’m hoping it’s like riding a bicycle.

For me, wearing a tie is a pleasure, a recherche one but a pleasure nonetheless. You could say that I’m avoiding tie avoidance. My own gorgeous collection runs into hundreds and I buy them the...

In the United Nations, when China entered, we voted on the same position, and since then we have maintained the same position, that position has not changed.

The joke I wanted to put into one of the promos for this new season, was to have a guy come up to me and say, Hey! Tony! I love your show, I’ve watched you...

I’ve been writing stories since I was a kid. I love writing stories.

I will be doing a film called Whispers, for Disney. It’s about elephants, and doesn’t have any people in it. It will be a live action film – I don’t know how much I can...

Yes, I do sew. I started when I was around 8 or 9 and have been doing it off and on since then.

My father is a silent cinema freak, so he took me to 1925 silent films that took forever, like 5-hour movies, but I’ve seen a lot of that stuff since I was young. And then...

I try to update my arsenal constantly. Learning different martial arts since childhood. To understand what’s out there. To really be in tune.

There wasn’t a moment where I got into cars. It wasn’t a conscience decision or something that came later, it was there since I was born. I just love it.

As a boy, I wanted to be the Peruvian Diego Maradona. Sadly, Peru hasn’t made the World Cup since 1982, so I guess I did well to choose something different.

My dream since I was a kid was to show in a gallery.

I think that the proposed constitution is one of the European legal documents with the strongest social dimension I have seen since I began following European issues.

I always feel stupid giving advice since I’ve been married, what, a year? I can say this: Be in it for the long haul and just know there are going to be rough patches. No...

Once humans traded their hunter-gatherer existences for more settled communities, we began a quest to make our lives better and more comfortable, but we’ve also been sucking precious finite resources from our environment ever since.

I’ve loved ‘Vanity Fair’ since I was 16 years old. You know, we’re all colonial hangovers in India, steeped in English literature. It is one of these novels that I read under the covers at...

I had been offered fellowships to enter as a graduate student at either Harvard or Princeton. But the Princeton fellowship was somewhat more generous, since I had not actually won the Putnam competition… Thus Princeton...

In addition to a soaring stock market, 6.6 million jobs have been created since tax relief measures went into effect in 2003. Our deficit situation has also improved as tax revenues have increased at double-digit...

I was well acquainted with the Calcutta literary circle since I was 17, when I lived in Bangladesh and published and edited a little magazine called ‘Sejuti,’ for which young poets from both Bengals wrote....

Ever since Two Daughters I’ve been composing my own music.

Since I am a Japanese man who’s been building through the experience of Japanese architecture, my actual designs come from Japanese architectural concepts, although they’re based on Western methods and materials.

I’ve been playing the Wolfenstein games since I was a kid, and feel that their outlandish sensibility has deeply influenced my own writing and directing throughout my career.

Lenin was the first to discover that capitalism ‘inevitably’ caused war; and he discovered this only when the First World War was already being fought. Of course he was right. Since every great state was...
