People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.

A lot of people, musically anyway, have realized that they can do it, and there's an audience for it at least in their own country, and often thought a lot of countries have a diaspora that breaks out all over the place, so they have a pretty wide audience.

The two biggest self-deceptions of all are that life has a 'meaning'and each of us is unique.

I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.

I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else

It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.

I don't care how impossible it seems.
