Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Never cook naked. Q. What trait is most noticeable about you? A. I laugh a lot. Is that a trait? Or a tic? Q. Which living person do you most admire? A. My birth mother. She saw that she couldn't provide for me and gave me up for adoption. I can't imagine making that choice. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. Right now, the sarcastic "really?" It's got to stop. Really. Q. What’s your best quality? A. I trust people, assume everyone's telling the truth. It gets me into big trouble sometimes. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Learn more about Mark Scarbrough
