We have that illusion that we are 'deciding' what to make a character do, in order to 'convey our message' or something like that.

From my point of view what I have to do now is appreciate and enjoy what football gave me, but now do something else with the same energy and enthusiasm I gave to football without expecting the same results. ↗

My wife Mariana is a good photographer too and, like me, she just picks up a camera and takes a picture when she sees something, rather than looking too deeply into it. ↗

Sometimes I'll go by and there are a couple of swans, the next day it's a few ducks. I'd like to stop there every day for a year and capture how it changes, then put it all together to create an incredible image of a traditional English scene. ↗

I've always thought something that makes you laugh, it makes you laugh because there's a little bit of truth to it. ↗
