WITI Women | Nori-zso Tolson

On a lighter note ...

1. If you could have dinner with any two people (living or not) who would they be?
Bruce Lee (I've started taking a cardio-kickboxing class) and Mary Queen of Scots. I'd have to find out what in the world made her think she'd be safe in England.

2. What was the last book you read? What books do you love to recommend?

I've just finished reading "The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon" translated and edited by Ivan Morris. It's an eloquent and witty diary about court life in eleventh century Japan at the height of Heian culture.

3. If you were to choose a different profession, what would it be?
If I couldn't pursue any of the visual arts I would have to become a writer. Whatever it would be would have to give me room to make it up as I go.

4. What is your definition of success?
Success is:
Following through on well thought-out decisions.
