I know how to dance with the wind, I can use its power by sailing this way, then that way, and again this way, till finally I get to you. With rowing, you're working primarily with your arms and shoulders. But with sailing, you're making bigger use of the wind and the waves.

I have no lucky charm. I am 100 percent superstition-free, and I take nothing for granted.

Pretend was a big part of my childhood.

A fool and his money are quickly parted.
