Culture and tradition is always used as a positive thing, but I think there’s many negatives to it, because it drives a wedge between people, because one of the things about culture is that my culture is better than yours. Who cares? . . . That’s why I’m not patriotic. I’m not a flag-waver, I couldn’t care less. Because to me, the most important thing in this life is being a human being . . . I have no shame, you know, in saying that I’m not patriotic, or anything, because it’s irrelevant to me.
