Fate carries its own clock.

When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

I tell stories to music and, thank God, in tune.

You can taste a word.

I never ask myself how I do what I do. After all, how does it rain?
