Save this story for later. Which historical figure do you most identify with? I think Bette Davis and I would have been friends. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Of course I’m going to go with obedience. Which living person do you most admire? I’m astounded by the young activists, ecologists, poets, movement leaders, peaceful marchers, change makers everywhere. It’s like watching a garden bloom. On what occasion do you lie? Omission. I’d be a crummy Catholic. What is your greatest extravagance? Heating my pool. What is your favorite journey? To the kitchen with my kids.
