- Yes, I am very superstitious! When I get up in the morning, I always put my right foot down first. I own a four-leaf clover, I never walk under (the) ladders and, of course, I don't go out on Friday the 13th! - That's really incredible! I don't believe in (the) superstitions because they are irrational. We can't control the universe. - Maybe, but if we can, I prefer to be ready!
