Q. What is your motto or maxim?

A. Still time to figure that out. I'll have it posted on my tombstone.

Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?

A. Human overpopulation.

Q. Which living person do you most admire?

A. Prominent people are so worn down by overexposure I find it hard to really admire any of them. Instead these days I seem to be admiring nameless people I see who just keep doing what they have to, sometimes with humor and grace.

Q. What do you regret most?

A. No regrets.

Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?

A. Jesus. I'd like to know if the events of the past 2000 years have caused him to change his mind about anything.
