Quotes Spiritually and physically speaking, I do rate coming to planet earth and having to breathe on my own as a crucial moment; the beginning of the journey of the art of living. I was too undisciplined to be an actor, too impatient to be a musician, and too angry to be anything else. I do not know performance as such existed! It's part of it, but most of my work is a collection of very honest and sincere lies! I do think that words and materialized imagination have the power to overtake reality. In a way it is the foundation of reality. I am very happy about not being the only Angolan working in this area. "Inspiration is a bitchy muse", Contemporary And (C&) (24 November 2014). I do think there are things in life that you must decide, but to be who you are is not a decision. "Donkey Bite: Nastio Mosquito on what he is and is not", ART AFRICA Magazine (23 March 2016).
