- 00:03:05.971
- so I don’t know, if you want to do it over the phone…00:03:09.327
- 00:03:09.327
- I am really not too interested,00:03:14.932
- 00:03:14.932

- “Not many people know you didn’t grow up in the Czech republic,00:03:44.150
- 00:03:44.150
- you grew up in Ecuador, right?”00:03:49.271
- 00:03:49.271
- "Yeah, I did, but how is that relevant to anything,00:03:52.743
- 00:03:52.743
- why anybody should care where I grew up?”00:03:57.447
- 00:03:57.447
- “I just mean, there was a different culture influencing you…”00:03:59.497
- 00:03:59.497
- "Ask relevant questions, I don’t have much time00:04:06.016
- 00:04:06.016
- and you only have eight minutes left.”00:04:09.424
- 00:04:09.424

- “General high school.”00:04:30.310
- 00:04:30.310
- “Then you also studied high school in the US,00:04:32.310
- 00:04:32.310
- then you also went to Cuba, right?”00:04:40.109
- 00:04:40.109
- “Yes, go on, you’re saying it right.”00:04:43.678
- 00:04:43.678
- “Then you came to the Czech republic,00:04:47.715
- 00:04:47.715
- why did you actually want to come here?”00:04:53.537
- 00:04:53.537
- “…And isn’t all this a little stupid,00:04:58.004
- 00:04:58.004
- who's gonna care about this…00:05:02.558
- 00:05:02.558
- Let’s do it some other time, this is really stupid00:05:11.441
- 00:05:11.441
- 00:05:11.441
- and I really don’t have time for this.”00:05:15.032
- 00:05:15.032
- “One little moment…00:05:17.447
- 00:05:17.447
- What are you doing at the moment,00:05:20.127
- 00:05:20.127
- are you still engaging in visual art or…”00:05:26.001
- 00:05:26.001
- “Not so much, I don’t have time for it,00:05:29.468
- 00:05:29.468
- you know it very well, I have a family now00:05:31.538
- 00:05:31.538
- and some other things I work on, so I don’t have time.”00:05:34.492
- 00:05:34.492
- “So what are you working on now,00:05:38.578
- 00:05:38.578
- I just heard you released some books,00:05:40.813
- 00:05:40.813
- over a thousand, or something like that, how is it?"00:05:45.149
- 00:05:45.149
- “That is nobody’s business...00:05:49.667
- 00:05:49.667
- I'm not gonna talk about these things,00:05:56.105
- 00:05:56.105
- it’s no enviers’ business, I don’t give a shit really.”00:06:01.019
- 00:06:01.019
- “I just…”00:06:06.903
- 00:06:06.903
- “Alright, see, you ran out of words,00:06:15.521
- 00:06:15.521
- so call me after Christmas and we will shoot it00:06:18.629
- 00:06:18.629

- 00:06:24.915
- but please do call ahead,00:06:29.242
- 00:06:29.242

- 00:06:33.886
- and like I said, I am leaving in a bit00:06:39.424
- 00:06:39.424

- I can meet you downstairs00:06:46.672
- 00:06:46.672
