OK, WELL….VERY NICE THAT YET ANOTHER ARTICLE HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE NYC BRAIN/TALENT/ARTIST DRAIN ETC… NOT TO MENTION THAT MY PHONE INTERVIEW WITH MIRIAM WAS FUN…..HOWEVER…. I HAVE NOT NOR WILL EVER “GIVE UP” ON NYC OR LONDON, MINNEAPOLIS, KARACHI, PARIS, BERLIN OR ANY OTHER PLACE I HAVE BEEN SO FORTUNATE TO RESIDE IN. EACH CITY EXCITED THE NEED FOR EXPLORATION, TRAVEL AND CREATIVITY.
I HAVE NEVER FLED ANY LOCATION. WHAT I DO IS BOTH A LUXURY AND REQUIRES SACRIFICE. THIS CONTINUES TO BE MY CHOICE. I DO NOT DEPEND ON THE STATE OR WEALTHY INSTITUTIONS FOR THE PERPETUATION OF MY WORK. MONEY IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE MY MOTIVATION. BEMOANING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT DIRE SITUATIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IS LAUGHABLE TO ME. NYC HELPED ME TO FIND THE REST OF THE WORLD, TO BROADEN MY HORIZONS AND TO SHARE WHAT I’VE FOUND HELPFUL AND INSPIRING WITH WHOM EVER IS THERE. THANKFULLY I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE AND AT TIMES EVEN LUCKY IN MY LIFE……
