Nature did not make me willowy.
I've always been really tall and lanky.
I'm in fact a hair under six feet, but I'm very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.
Manuel Corpas is long and lean-the opposite of Olmedo Saenz.
My chance, when it came, was due, literally, to the fact that I was slender.... You cannot make an opera audience believe that a man will endanger his soul, and commit robbery and murder for a very stout lady's sake.
I could make good time because I was so long and skinny, shooting through the water like a stick.
I like the Twiggy look.
If you look at me, I'm very tall but I'm not huge or muscular. I tend to be slim and you know, I actually can lose weight quicker than I can gain it.
There have been other players of a similar build and stature to myself - slim, if you like - who have come here and shown a physical resilience in the way that I hope to as well.
I guess if you're that thin and that small you don't need to take up too much space or breathe that much air. You just keep on going.
