[RV] Well, I’ve mentioned before that there is this situation where I’m, kind of, a combination of many things. I’m an Italian American… Italian American son of Italian American people who migrated here. I am a Quaker. I am an artist and a guy who went to the Episcopal Academy but who could not study art there and did not enjoy the emphasis on sports but I somehow got through. So, I’m sort of… in a way there’s a tension in all that but I enjoy being many things at once. Maybe that’s why I’m so interested in complexity and contradiction, because I am complex and contradictory in many ways.
