My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions.

I punish myself more than anybody else does if I am stupid about my actions, and I suffer, really suffer.

Thank God I got the rejects. These animals are very, very affectionate.

I have used all the manure that has been thrown on me as fertilizer to make me stronger.
