Key quotes
· 3 pulledI think a lot of people don't want to talk about old age and death because it's unlucky.
But that is the truth for all human beings, that after 100 years, everybody will be gone. It's about what I can learn and understand beyond life and death.
You focus more on every day, this moment, to protect your family, children, wife, husband, whatever. You do your best.
