Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.

At my age, I don’t need to be a sexy bundle of muscles, thank you very much.

Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.

I'm a working-class person, working with class.

I never touch sugar, cheese, bread... I only like what I'm allowed to like. I'm beyond temptation. There is no weakness. When I see tons of food in the studio, for us and for everybody, for me it's as if this stuff was made out of plastic. The idea doesn't even enter my mind that a human being could put that into their mouth. I'm like the animals in the forest. They don't touch what they cannot eat.

I make such big efforts to forget things and I can't tell the story of my life because, thank God, I'm still living it.

I do my job like I breathe.
