«Gardening is how I relax. It’s another form of creating and playing with colors.»
… Feminismus:
«When I started, the woman went to the store to buy a dress. She saw it in pink and red, and then she remembered that the husband, who is probably going to pay for the dress, loves it in pink. So she buys the pink. Today, the same woman goes to the store and remembers the husband likes pink, and she buys the red.»

«It’s not about what you wear, but about how you live your life.»
