Growing up, I didn't have television. My dad would make up stories and tell me stories, so my imagination ran wild. When I did see films, which was very few and far between, that was such an interesting medium that was so new to me.

Instead, he brought in foreign workers, because they're captive workers, because you can pay them less because they can't leave.
