I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then, I don't know, I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room. ↗

Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five! ↗

Words began to appear in English and to make some kind of equivalent. For what satisfaction it is hard to say, except that something seems unusually piercing, living, handsome, in another language, and since English is yours, you wish it to be there too. ↗

As a little girl living in the English countryside, I used to go running around in the forests, creating my own fairy tale. ↗
