“I've a poet's sensitivity.”

“When I was a youngster, we did not have access to handpumps, so we used to collect buckets of water from the well and over time I was used to carry a lot of buckets.

“All I know is that I have earned a lot of love and affection from people throughout the years. That's my greatest gift. Beyond that, I never took stardom and success seriously.”
