For me, bullfighting was this very spiritual engagement with power, with power and death. You're pitting yourself against a force that's stronger than you and then you're winning or losing. It's power, a power play.

It's almost impossible to imagine bullfighting abolished from Spain entirely. Values do change, though.

A bull will try to outwit you. It will stop and hook when the last thing you expect from it is that it will stop and hook.

Animals are complicated and so is the animal-rights opposition. It's hard to read motives in animals, and hard to read motives in politics.

I was a bullfighter. I'd like to see the tradition continue. I'm sorry that Catalonia is robbing itself of a tradition that belongs in Catalonia.
