How would you describe your life in only 8 words?
I wake up happy every day, but why?
What is your motto or maxim?

How would you describe perfect happiness?
I'll know it when I get there. I hope.
What’s your greatest fear?

Right here - I love Cape Cod.
With whom in history do you most identify?

Which living person do you most admire?

None, I hope. Can't anything be just right?
What do you regret most?
No regrets.
If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?
