If you fear something, walk into it.

It's almost impossible to imagine bullfighting abolished from Spain entirely. Values do change, though.

I'm good at killing, I'm known as a bullfighter who kills well, and that I can kill well, that I can compete technically with my male peers in my technique in killing, gives me satisfaction.

You kill, it's part of your world as a bullfighter, it's a natural part of your world, and then you leave that world and it becomes unnatural.

Animals are complicated and so is the animal-rights opposition. It's hard to read motives in animals, and hard to read motives in politics.

Madrid reacting with the forceful protection of bullfighting as an art form is an example of the survival of the old values.

I was a bullfighter. I'd like to see the tradition continue. I'm sorry that Catalonia is robbing itself of a tradition that belongs in Catalonia.

Cooking certainly has some of the elements of an art form.

In one era the majority puts its faith and sympathy with the bullfighter, in another with the bull.

A bull will try to outwit you. It will stop and hook when the last thing you expect from it is that it will stop and hook.

There is no worse parent than an unhappy parent!

Can you see a serene island in the middle of a stormy ocean? And the wise man is that calm island!

I'm not scared of anything in particular, but I am motivated by a fear of failure as opposed to a need to succeed.

We don't grow up in vacuums. We grow up in societies.

Life has become a state of sensory overload.

Children, even if we lose a million dollars, we can recover it. If we lose one second, we cannot get it back. Every moment that we are not remembering God is lost to us.

The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.

The hats were nearly all as though made by somebody who had once heard about flowers but never seen one huge muffs of horror.

A good process produces good results.

If I get frustrated, the first thing I'll do is get up from the piano - completely mindlessly - and walk over to the cupboard and pull out something salty to eat.
