“My grandparents had a house full of books. They were both fluent in several languages. My grandfather was a scholar in biblical literature, and my grandmother was a poet. They planted a seed that grew when I went to college and took some classics classes.”
“[The culture] appealed to my senses. It was a very sensual thing. I love the smells, sights, the sounds, feelings, tastes. My senses tend to be more sharp in Greece.”
