"I was raised as an upper-class WASP in New England, and there was this old tradition there that everyone would simply be guided into the right way after Ivy League college and onward and upward. And it rejected me, I rejected it, and I ended up as a kind of refugee, really.''

-- The late Spalding Gray (1941-2004) -- a writer and actor who grew up in Barrington, R.I. He committed suicide in New York City.
