"I don't miss Somalia in the way that many people talk about missing a country. And the reason is the Somalia that I bring into the imagination, that I bring forth to the world, is more orderly, less chaotic, more truthful... because with all respect the majority of Somalis have started believing their own lies. And when a people have started believing their own lies, they're in trouble, forever. Now there is only truth in fiction, and the only truth is in fiction."
