I was born optimistic...I was laughing from the beginning of my life.

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.

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

In any case, life is beautiful, extremely beautiful. And when you are old you appreciate it more. When you are older you think, you remember, you care and you appreciate. You are thankful for everything. For everything.

Everything is a present. Everything. This I learned to be thankful for everything.

Life is beautiful. You have to be thankful that we are living. Wherever you look is beauty. I know about the bad things, but I look for the good things.
