They are the words of Monir, one of the 1 million Rohingya in Myanmar who has been denied nationality in the land his family has called home for generations.
He was speaking to photographer Greg Constantine, who has spent nine years documenting the "dramatic and traumatic" lives of some of the 10 million people relegated to stateless status around the globe, and is now exhibiting work from his book in Australia.
He says the plight of the Rohingya is the "most extreme" example of statelessness today, while the United Nations describes the Muslim minority as the most persecuted group in the world. (Courtesy of abc.net.au)
