As some of you might know, I recently moved to NYC because I want to be around the best. My mantra is inspired by an old ad copy: “Dress British, look Italian, and think Yiddish.” This approach has served me well, even though I am none of those. In fact, I added the “look Italian” part to introduce a sense of liberty or spazzatura to the confines of the British silhouette, metaphorically linking the mind to the body and soul. One of my favorite sayings is that “I am so deep that I’m shallow,” which can describe the arc of the hero’s journey to bring something back to the physical world.
