I can bat in the morning, afternoon, evening, night, on ice, desert, wherever and whenever. It is almost nirvana for me. It takes me away from the stresses of life.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure.

After some time, with my eyes closed, I began to enjoy this wonderful play of colors and forms, which it really was a pleasure to observe. Then I went to sleep and the next day I was fine. I felt quite fresh, like a newborn.

I love experiencing other people's realities, seeing the world through their eyes for a short period of time.

An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered.

Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

Up until the last minute, it was art and drawing for me. That was the first real and natural thing I thought I was good at and loved to do. But I developed a similar kind of love for music.

Every day is a new journey for me, and I feel like, in my lifetime, I've been blessed to experience such a lot.
