“We grew up very poor, and my mother didn’t speak any English. My mother worked in a sweatshop, even though she was highly educated. And, so, I remember just saying—you know because my mother is coming home very late and so on, and she was getting sick—just saying to myself, I need to, you know, I need to help you transcend the situation. I mean it didn’t work that way, but it was basically the gist of my thoughts at that time. So, I remember developing a very keen sense of consciousness, of the rules of the world, I suppose: who are the winners, who are the losers.”
