Terra Elan McVoy Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Well, Bernard Shaw once said, "The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." I have it taped over my dresser along with this old advertisement that says, "I believe if you look at yourself and see what is right instead of what is wrong, that is the true mark of a healthy individual." Both of these things have served me pretty well so far. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. Being able to sit down at the piano and play anything, gorgeously. Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. Achieving some of the goals and dreams you set for yourself, but also coming to genuinely understand why and how it is okay when other things happen instead. Q. What do you regret most? A. I can't really regret anything because then I wouldn't be where or who I am right now. Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero? A. Dorothy Gale Learn more about Terra Elan McVoy
