I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine.

We already live a very long time for mammals, getting three times as many heartbeats as a mouse or elephant. It never seems enough though, does it?

Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify with the heartbeat, or with walking, or with breathing.

I never go to the gym - I can't be doing with it. But I run up and down the stairs, wash my feet in the basin to keep supple, and I don't eat things that have a pulse.

Life is about rhythm. We vibrate, our hearts are pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine, that's what we are.

I started finding hearts in things - whether it was like, a tree I was passing, a straw wrapper on the ground; I think the heart has one continuous line, which is very powerful.

The human heart is the same the world over.

The reactions of the human heart are not mechanical and predictable but infinitely subtle and delicate.
