You're always moving and thinking about a whole bunch of things. But those traits work well for me in studios and in meetings about creative ideas.

If you live in a good neighborhood, you drive home and there's a bank. There's grocery stores and big houses - but no motels. What that tells you psychologically is you protect your money and buy good things for your family to eat in your nice big house.
