I'm not trying to fool anybody or anything. The humor is just the way I see the humanity of it. Humor is common within the context of Indian art. In many ways it has to do with the aspects of survival, because the circumstances can be so extreme, that you have to deal with them at some human psyche level. You have to make them tolerable, and humor is one of the ways to do it.
Some people think about reservation life, how bad, how terrible . . .
That's something that not a lot of people know much about. Experiencing the lows makes the good things even better. We don't take things for granted as much. You don't know you're poor until someone points it out to you. I've learned patience.
