- When I was a kid, about
eight, nine years old.
I laid down in the
grass and with my buddy,
we counted the stars
and moon and all that,
that was a good life.
But today, my God, the life
goes like a bullet, too fast.
One day to another look like one hour.
But now since I've been
older, different subject.
- What would you tell this
new generation about life?
- To give love and respect.
Not all day, every day,
but at least especially
to your mother and father,
especially mother.
