In your next life, what would your career be?

Fill in the blank: Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you ______.

Time.

What is something that everyone should own, no matter how much it costs?

A very soft sweater.

What’s something that you thought you knew but later found out you were wrong about?

There's no “n” in restaurateur!

What’s the favorite item in your workspace and why?

My teapot. It adds a real sense of home to my desk.
