Quote as cited in the El País article of 20th February, 2005:

"Quiero que la gente vea que siendo de origen musulmán, como yo, uno puede ser absolutamente libre en su forma de pensar. El mundo musulmán no te da espacio como individuo. Hay un control social terrible. Y para poder transmitir este mensaje y conseguir que la gente hable, lo que hay que hacer es romper tabúes".

"I want people to see that you can, being of muslim origin, like me, be completely free in your way of thinking. The muslim world doesn't give you room as individual. There is awful social control. In order to get this message across and to make people talk, what you have to do is to break taboos"
