“It would be very unusual if some of this sense – if you want a pool, dig it, if you want money, earn it – didn’t color this question of giving money to Quintana. I think you have to think of it as a gift to yourself. You’re giving yourself the comfort of saying that you trust her values. And if you don’t trust her values, don’t give it to her.” I said I did trust her values. I just didn’t trust her common sense. “Common sense is something people learn by doing. Not by having their parents do it for them.”
