Alison McGhee Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Here's what I put in my high school yearbook, and I do believe it's what I'd still put today: Walk slowly; all you can ever come to is yourself.
Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be?
A. Chinese dumplings, either pan-fried, boiled, or steamed.
Q. Which living person do you most admire?
A. I admire my mother a whole bunch, and I always have.
Q. What’s your best quality?
A. I'm kind.
Q. What’s your greatest fear?
A. That would be Doing A Headstand. Yep, I've been scared of that particular feat all my life, have never done one, and I've decided to come clean. So there you have it.
