When I left teaching, I don't think anyone I worked with necessarily understood what I did or the level at which I did it but I think they all do now.

Adam Page

Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed.

Working hard at finding an audience abroad.
I used to wear disguises, like hats and false beards, just to walk around and avoid attention.
'Never Have Your Dog Stuffed' is really advice to myself, a reminder to myself not to avoid change or uncertainty, but to go with it, to surf into change.
I love working if it's with people who are capable of having a good time. People with a little bit of enjoyment of what they do. If it's enormous pressure, and people feel that their lives are at stake, then it's agony. So I try to pick projects where I feel like I'm going to avoid those traps.
