LC: Are you religious?

RA: Pretty much, but I'm not going to church all the time.

LC: Are you as devout as your mom would like you to be?

RA: No. (laughs)

LC: What's your most prized possession, among all the art, photos and furniture here?

RA: My collection of books is very important to me. It allows me to do all my research from here. For instance, I'm going to Chile soon to do a story inspired by Pablo Neruda [Chilean poet and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature]. I'm researching how things looked there during the time he was alive so I'm looking at architecture, for example. I'm also reading his poetry which is extremely important in South American literature. The trip is inspired by his poetry, it's for Amica. We'll shoot in all the locations where he lived and with all the elements he loved. The photos are going to have his writings written on top. It'll be a while before I'm done with it all, but fortunately I have a producer already there so I can explain what I need beforehand.
