Cat Greenleaf’s Top 5 Interviews

Here are the top five people Cat Greenleaf would like to have on her stoop.

1. Obama: I think it’s unfair that people expect one person to make immediate and sweeping change. I’m wondering how he stays sane in the face of the criticism.

2. Bono: He walks the talk. Would he be able to do that if he wasn’t already wealthy/accomplished?

3. Oprah: She set the standard on a lot of things that are important to me.

4. Anthony Weiner: Was he naive, crazy, or drunk? How does he process it all now?

5. My parents: There’s a lot I probably don’t remember, or that I mis-remember, from my upbringing. What do they most want me to remember from how they raised me? Also, how do they suggest I speak to my sons about adoption, based on their experiences with my sister?
