So for mutual interest, I do want American presence in this region.

I come from the deep countryside. My family was in farming. I was not really exposed to business. Coming from that environment, I just wanted in my life to go overseas - that was a childhood dream because I wanted diversity, contacts, cultural meetings with others.

But I love the idea - whether it's in my work or where I live - exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.

I've done a lot of things away from my homeland.

I am a nationalist... my native soil is the theatre.

I'd much rather be in the expanse of the wilderness because it feels like part of my world. It's a unique perspective. You're this tiny speck in a huge environment, and it's nice to be reminded of that.

I want my children to live in the country, to be a part of nature.

This is my homeland no one can kick me out.

I'm fascinated by beautiful scenery and what we have here on this Earth.

I've built my homeland, I've even founded my state - in my language.
