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

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.

If people are talking about my weight cut all the time and are telling me how skinny I like, you have to respect the audience. You also have to respect all of the fighters who do this.

After waking up, I take my vitamins and eat fruit or, sometimes, bread with garlic, which is good for your health.

I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid.
