myra transcript from interview with 'kevin couric' . . .

'Carnations'
Please Enjoy All Of The Beautiful Flowers
Painted by Carol Marine
Kevin: Myra when it comes to art what is your greatest hope and your greatest fear?
Myra: My greatest hope is that one day someone will buy my art. My greatest fear is that the next day they will return it.
Kevin: Myra you have been accused by many interviewers of going on and on and on. . . how do you respond?
Myra: Well um, it’s the resilience - if you will - of the human spirit - that is - the ability - or what have you - to overcome adversity - uh, the reason - dare I say - will - if I may be so bold as to speak directly to your question while at the same time expostulating briefly . . .
Kevin: Uh, that’s okay. It’s a one hour show. Finally tell me, Myra what encouragement were you given in order to face challenges?
Myra: I was told that if you have challenges in life you must remember that life can be compared to a ‘24 hour day’ - it doesn't stay dark forever - and if into each life a little rain must fall - remember that it’s always darkest before the dawn - the sun will come out tomorrow so you'd better hang on til tomorrow - the grass is NOT greener on the other side - just carve a little molehill out of that mighty mountain - there’s NO 'biz-ness' like SHOW 'biz - . . .
Kevin: And with that we are out of time - see you next week . . .
Dedicated to 'PJ4000' in Chicago 'Thank you. I probably would have gone further without your support!' I may have sigh-co-logical problems.
