Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Breathe deeply
Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?
A. One-upsmanship. The trouble is that I'm usually unaware when it's started, so at first I think I need to reach for a one-up of my own. I never have one ready and luckily I can then see how ridiculous the whole thing is.
Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?
A. I'd like to be fluent in more languages.
Q. What’s your fantasy profession?
A. Being a fiction writer.
Q. What’s your greatest fear?
A. This has changed so much over the years. I used to be afraid of failure. I was afraid of getting fat. Afraid of saying something stupid. Afraid of being such an introvert. Those things don't worry me at all any longer. It took some time to think of what I fear; I realize I'm afraid of pain. And I'm afraid of harm coming to someone I love. And I suppose those are the same things.
