Nowadays when I walk around, I get noticed, which is kind of weird.

I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.

I'm incredibly happy to be doing my own thing in New York.

The dice of Zeus always fall luckily.

The Turkish road is not my model because I am critical of the way you are dealing with freedom of expression, of how you are dealing with the treatment of minorities, and your economic vision.
