"I mean, I live in Australia, was raised here, yet I still do a little Bollywood dance in my living room for fun, and I cook dal four times a week. But I also snort-laugh at footy jokes. So, how do you define belonging in that scenario?"  

"My daughter, who’s seventeen, tried to explain postmodernism to me last week, as if I was still stuck in the Stone Age. Meanwhile, I was the one who taught her how to properly watch entire Netflix series in a single weekend. That requires skill and discipline, I tell you!"
