What’s your middle name – does it have special significance? Better unshared; no special significance.
Do you still have anything from your childhood? A book of short plays I had when I was six or seven.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? With my husband and son; perhaps in a large apartment building beside the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, with small wrought iron balconies that overlook the Funiculaire de Montmartre as it runs to the top of the hill.
