"I see the decision by the administration in Washington as an acknowledgment of my service to Russia. It's a big honor for me. I don't have accounts abroad. The only things that interest me in the U.S. are Tupac Shakur, Allen Ginsberg, and Jackson Pollock. I don't need a visa to access their work. I lose nothing."
I appreciate that Russia gave us Tolstoy. I also appreciate that USA gave us Tupac. They're not exactly equal contributions, but hey, credit where it's due .
