I've been here
in America
the last forty years,
and
for the last twenty years, so half of my
stay in America,
Carl Lewis has been very, very closely
connected with me, both in my inner life and my outer
life as well.
Here we go.
I actually felt pretty good because I enjoyed being-- You know, when I first said
sitting on an elephant, I said, "Well, what the heck?
It's something else I can say that I've done." But, it was, it was
interesting feeling being-- s- first of all, sitting on something so powerful.
Um, you know, that elephant is just tremendous in terms of its size and
power. But at the same time, she was so gentle and
passive. And then to be lifted, was amazing 'cause you really clearly
felt the movement. So it was, very interesting to be on
something that big and then something-- and somehow was able to be moved like
that.
