Answers without questions

I recently watched a TV interview in which particular questions were asked of the subject. Here, I answer them, without explaining the questions. I think the words tell their own small story:

1. I try.

2. Yes it did.

3. I don’t know.

4. “I could see that you were trying.”

5. “But was it enough?”

6. Seeing my father in the audience of a show I was doing after he had died.

7. It makes no promises to be fair, but surprising gifts can come.

8. Everyone.
