I'm a happy man because I am successful in what I do of course but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This for me is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.

I was born in ancient times at the end of the world in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family. No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist - although the term had not reached Chile yet so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.

Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
