He said he lives in the Netherlands and observed that similar political tendencies are occurring across Europe. He attributed fear to a lack of understanding of other cultures, saying "just learn Spanish, don't build walls." Andersen expressed support for the decriminalization of drugs and environmental causes, and said that movements such as same-sex marriage are "all going the right way" but face opposition. He described the role of an artist as "to make the invisible visible" and advised that one should "get up in the morning and just look around and do a realistic assessment of what your skills and gifts are and figure out a way to make a difference every day."
