I think it is very important for people to run away [...] from home, from the mainstream, from their family, from the culture, from the society that produced them [...] because the moment I have to learn something new, like new habits, new languages, I myself have something like a rebirth. I reduce myself to the lowest denominator and this is very healthy for an artist. To start all over again.
