Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?
A. Is there such a thing? Happiness, for me, is a moment here-and-there when everything that crowds your life drops away and you are simply aware of the pleasure of the moment. Or perhaps it's walking Popham Beach near my house in Maine - and the most beautiful...

Douglas Kennedy Revealed

Q. What’s your fantasy profession? A. Conducting the Berlin Philharmonic or playing a piano jazz gig at the Village Vanguard - two things that are not going to happen within my lifetime. Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. I am rather happy being me... finally! Q. What do you regret most? A. That I stayed in a marriage without real love for far too many years. But two wonderful children came out of that marriage - so, as such, my regrets are really nominal ones. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. "Quotidian" and a French expression: 'On verra'... which means "We'll see". Which kind of sums up my world-view. Learn more about Douglas Kennedy
