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. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you?
A. Kindness, integrity and humor.
Q. What trait is most noticeable about you?
A. I can bend my hands up into strange, saucer-like formations. It's creepy.
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.
