I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.
I don't believe in fate.

When you hurry you're more apt to make mistakes. But you have to be quick. If you're not quick you can't get things done.
I'm not afraid to die.
I don't believe in praying to win.
I'm no wizard, and I don't like being thought of in that light at all. I think of a wizard as being some sort of magician or something, doing something on the sly or something, and I don't want to be thought of in that way.
