I got exposed to so many different cultures and people.

It was my idea for high culture and popular culture to be treated equally.

I really hold on to my culture because it is what made me.

I'm not certain that I draw from any one culture more than others. Many myths and legends of many different cultures are really the same story when you get to the heart of it. They are often cultural cautionary tales about how we should behave and how we should live.

At times, I might have been too young; I might have been too naive at times and didn't understand who I really was to a whole culture.

I grew up in a wonderful blend of a lot of old culture.

High culture isn't what it used to be.

You experience other cultures to give you a kind of shock that makes you look at your own culture. You appreciate it more as a result of being out of it, but you also realise there are some things lacking in your culture.

There was a time when I was knocking on doors and concerned with being recognized in dominant culture. I've found a space where the terrain is different, where I'm embraced by people like me, and where I'm building new ways of doing things, as opposed to trying to insert myself in a place that might not be welcoming.

I have always felt more at home in a culture that has nothing to do with the one I was born and brought up in.
