“Basically it’s about communicating with another human being from another culture. . . . We can never, ever know each other, but we can attempt conversation. On a certain level, that alone is remarkable. Cultural collaborations like Geography are important, but only if we go into them and let the cultural clashes and collisions really have their life, because that’s where the truth is.” –Ralph Lemon
