I had very interesting high school years… My brother got a brain tumor and ended up dying two years later. And my father, who was also very well known in the Bay Area, and very depressed about this and killed himself less than a year after that. So when I was in high school I had opportunity — undesirable opportunity, you might say — to look at life differently from most 15, 16, 17-year-olds. I was really inspired by my brother… He was doing what he loved at a very young age and a very high level. And I decided I wanted to do that.So that’s a long way of saying I had a series of inspirations and events that made me think, I want to reach for something really, really interesting and challenging.
