One thing that I miss because we spend a lot of time in America is English food, like cooked breakfast and Sunday dinners.

I love English, though I now call it 'Anglo- American' because we no longer speak British English due to globalization and America's economic power.

I remember, the first time I came to the United States in 1996, I didn't speak a word of English at the beginning. I am very thankful for this country and the opportunity music has given me... My three kids were born here in Miami; they speak Spanish at home, but English with all their friends.

I say 20 words in English. I say money, money, money, and I say hot dog! I say yes, no and I say money, money, money and I say turkey sandwich and I say grape juice.

Prior to 'Snowpiercer,' I've done many other international project that forced me to be in an environment where I had to converse in English.

When I started writing, the first thing that came out was in English. I liked a few French things, but they were very overwhelming.

English has been this vacuum cleaner of a language, because of its history meeting up with the Romans and then the Danes, the Vikings and then the French and then the Renaissance with all the Latin and Greek and Hebrew in the background.

I'm American. Very American. Like, I-might-have-biscuits-and-sausage-gravy-for-dinner American.

I meet people overseas that know five languages - that the only language I'm comfortable in is English.
