I don't try to control my days.
From Paulo Coelho
I don't go to parties in general.
The only thing that relaxes me is archery. That's why I have to have apartments with gardens.
I lived in a dictatorship in Brazil, and I was arrested three times. I felt in my flesh what it is to live under such a regime and experience deprivation of freedom.
I wanted to write when I was young, but people said it was impossible. Then my parents locked me in a mental institution - they said I was crazy and would never make a living from writing.
When I'm dancing, I'm not thinking about anything. I am here. I am totally there. You know? And the feeling is a sensation of being away from myself. My soul dances with the angels, and my body dances with my wife.
However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
I am 100 per cent Virgo, stubborn, over-organised, slightly abstracted from the rest of the world.
The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.
We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.
