Amy Hatvany Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Progress, not perfection. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. "No worries," "It is what it is," and the F-bomb. Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. Aragorn, from the Lord of the Rings Triology. But only if he came in the form of Viggo Mortensen. I would probably say, "Holy crap, you're hot." 

Kidding aside, I would love to meet Atticus Finch. I'd like to hear his impressions of the world, and how we have ended up where we are as a society. And then I would just soak up his gentle, quiet wisdom.
Q. What is your greatest achievement? A. My children and my sobriety. Q. With whom in history do you most identify? A. Mae West Learn more about Amy Hatvany
