Robert Neubecker Revealed

Robert Neubecker Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. your life is what your thoughts make it- Marcus Aurelius Q. What’s your greatest fear? A. Collapsing in the street of New York City. Thwe wierd thing is, that's probably the safest place. Everyone would rush to help you. Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you’re not writing? A. Well, of course I draw, but after spending the first third of my life as a bookish geek, I enjoy nature and individual sports such as Surfing and Skiing. Q. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you? A. Honesty, humility, competence Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. Go, by the Replacements- never heard that one, I bet. It's let's say, passionate. I don't know. My daughter's six and she likes ABBA so yeah, me too. And I like "Fields of Gold" I know, corny. If you can find the 12" 45 of go, play it at max volume, then follow it with Eva Cassidy's cover of "Fields of Gold", well that's pretty much my life story right there.
