Jennifer Weiner Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. "Don't pick it." My Mom told me that, and it applies to any number of situations. Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. I think I'd be me, only maybe a little younger and better-looking. Q. What’s your fantasy profession? A. Backup singer! I actually got to live the fantasy for a night when the Rock Bottom Remainders, an all-author supergroup, came to town, and I sang back-up on "Mustang Sally." I have no idea how I sounded, or even if my microphone was on, but I loved it, loved it, loved it. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. I can sing adequately, but if I could, I'd love to be really, really good. Good enough to take it on the road. Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. I am terrifically thin-skinned, and I hold grudges. So don't piss me off! Not even accidentally! Learn more about Jennifer Weiner
