The danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution.

People like controversy because that's what sells.

Thank you, Dubai, you were so amazing. I don't think we'll be allowed back due to my 'behaviour', but know that I love you and I wouldn't have done anything differently given the chance again.

The idea of calling out a performer for being performative is mind-numbingly redundant as an exercise. Performing is a performer's job.

I don't do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life.

Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.
