I felt that this is the only thing which helps me to have hope... a sort of religion, actually. Music is God.

I think backwards. "This was beautiful." Instead of forward.

When you are optimistic, when you are not complaining, when you look at the good side of your life, everybody loves you.

The worst thing in life is boredom. When people don't know what to do with themselves, they are very, very poor.

I've always been an optimist and I believe laughter is a wonderful thing

Music was our food... When we can play, it can't be so terrible. The music, the music!

Only when we are so old, only, are we aware of the beauty of life.
