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

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

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

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

I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.

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

I know about the bad, but I look at the good thing.
