I loved this idea of always being a foreigner. There's this thing where people bring cultures, bring the music together. I love it when the music, when the cultures collide and something sort of new comes out of it.
I think everyone is kind of an immigrant somehow, and I wasn't raised in an American society at home. My household was a Jamaican household, so I got all my traditions, all my roots and culture intact, so I'm able to support both countries.
I like the mix of something farmlike and something futuristic and artsy mixed together. It's kind of both my worlds.
I live between two things-I live between art and pop all the time.
So American culture is itself a hybrid and lends itself to use in other people's hybrids.
My mother's Mohawk and my father is Scottish/German from Nova Scotia.
I want to have Congolese influences but also influences from Dubai and Abu Dhabi and France. To mix everything up.
So many people are of mixed heritage; everyone is from somewhere else.
Culturally, I'm not 100 percent Korean. I'm very mixed and very open.
I come from French Cajun Jewish people.
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
I've always felt very much from a mixed culture - mainly English and French, but also Nigerian, Thai, Mexican. Everything's had its influence on me.
All cultures have been mingled forever.
Sudan is not Arab enough for Arabs and not African enough for Africans.
I'm Italian, but I'm also a little Brazilian: Pirlonho, if you like.
My husband is half Japanese and half white European-American, and our son is half Korean, quarter Japanese, and a quarter white European-American.
With a far-future setting merging Chinese and American culture, 'Firefly' also saw high-tech futurism blended with the traditional Wild West.
Texas is a country in its own. It's made up of half Mexico/half United States but completed mixed. I don't mean to draw a generalization but it is a place, a territory, that's really made up of all these encounters, you know?
My father is Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino; my mother is half-Irish and half-Japanese; Greek last name; born in Hawaii, raised in Germany.
This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.
I call my culture 'kimchi and collards.'
