People who think of a nationalist party sometimes think 'inward-looking and parochial.' The kind of nationalism I represent is the opposite of that.

I don't believe in nationalism. I think it's a bunch of slogans. It's a bunch of poor attempts at creating pride. My problem with nationalism is that it becomes exclusionary. We start to exclude people.

I think political people are afraid of me.

Let's be cautious about narrow nationalism.

Just because I believe in the identity and integrity of my country doesn't make a xenophobe or a nationalist.

A lot of artists say, I'm not political. People are afraid of this word.

Nationalism has a way of oppressing others.

Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

I don't think my work does reflect my nationality - I don't like the idea of nationalism.

I'm happiest with people who've gotten furthest from traditional ideas of nationalism.
