I inherited that calm from my father, who was a farmer. You sow, you wait for good or bad weather, you harvest, but working is something you always need to do.

I want to be calm.

I work best when there is adversity: I seem to get calmer the more the fur is flying.

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.

To relax, I work.

I practice staying calm all the time, beginning with situations that aren't tense.

I can't actually think of a job where I was relaxed the whole time. I don't think I would want to do that job. When I break into a cold sweat when I'm reading, I think, 'Oh good. That's what's supposed to be happening.'

If I want to calm down, I'll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear - it's lovely.

I like my world to be calm.

I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.
