I think becoming a manager in the first place because my journey was different - the path to becoming a manager. That is the biggest achievement for me.

Being respected, because I have to deal with this each and every day of my life. Each and every day of my life, when I go to a public place, someone might recognize me, or might not, that doesn’t make or break my day. The thing that I walk in expecting is that, whether they recognize me or not, I’m going to be treated with respect.

Mr. Rogers lives on. There’s so many legions of people that grew up with him, and they’re still in a way growing up with him. He, of course, was a minister. ... And the children of the show, in the neighborhood, are his ministry. And what a beautiful thing that is. So I, to this day, when someone says, “What are you most proud to have accomplished?” I am so proud to have been a part of that.

I would hope that there’s a recognition that in some way or another it has contributed to the breaking down of barriers. Somehow deinstitutionalizing some of those buildings. They might be workplaces. They might be cultural buildings, where under one roof you have the contemplation of great works of art and the studying of the history of art. That might be linked to a degree of innovation, harnessing technology to a good end. I’m bringing an element of joy and uplift to spirits.

Dishonesty and being late for appointments.

The fact that sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.

Any person trying to uplift mankind.

Singing onstage—and everyone walking around me saying, “Look how happy she looks.”

Flipping my wig.

A big loaded baked potato and a good book with time to eat it and read it.
