My philosophy of life is: smile at life and never give up.

"Memory is a strange thing, it doesn't work like I thought it did. We are so used to thinking of it as a camera or a tape recorder, but it's not like that at all. It's more like a painter, who adds and subtracts elements according to his own rules."

I like to say that I'm not a politician, I'm a citizen who cares deeply about my country.
