The place where you’re from and the crucible where you’re forged essentially has a lot to do with it. You are the collection of the experiences of your friends, who your family are, your environment, and your neighbourhood. So if there are bad experiences you just get rid of them, or learn lessons from them…That has influenced my writing, my work and everything. And actually, when I started to try and not copy other cultures or other places and just try to make them influences, then basically make what I was doing solely about what I was doing or where I was, that was the only time when I turned a corner. I started to resonate a lot more with people.
