If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Obviously, you would give your life for your children, or give them the last biscuit on the plate. But to me, the trick in life is to take that sense of generosity between kin, make it apply to the extended family and to your neighbour, your village and beyond.
A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
My whole life is waiting for the questions to which I have prepared answers.
All your life, you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it is like being ambushed by a grotesque.
