Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Treat every reader as if they are the only one you have. Q. What’s your best quality? A. Every now and then, I make a funny. Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. I remember Harrison Ford saying once in an interview that he didn't believe in happiness as a pure objective. I pretty much agree with that Happiness is a bi-product of doing something you love, something that gives you meaning. Since I love writing, I try to spend as much time doing it as possible. Now and then, I end up happy because of it. Q. With whom in history do you most identify? A. I'd go with Mother Teresa, except I don't look good in a habit. Q. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you? A. I'm extremely proud to say I'm humble. Beyond that, I can't think of any others. Learn more about Scott William Carter
