Ru Freeman Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Take risks, overextend and always dress the part.
Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be?
A. A fabulous politican with a string of accomplishments in the fields of human rights, the rights of children, cross-cultural understanding, and education with a stack of best-selling books to my credit!
Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be?
A. Northern coast of Sri Lanka
Q. What do you regret most?
A. I held on to a grudge for several months against a woman, Kristine Aurbakken, who turned into a great friend and kindred spirit. She died suddenly of cancer and I regret that lost time. I think of her almost daily, imagining what she would have said/done during the political events of our time, what her reaction would be to my book and other writing, etc.
Q. What’s your best quality?
A. I'm comfortable in any setting and can make a friend even where everybody is in the opposite camp!
