10 Questions for Yo-Yo Ma

I have no idea. I barely read it. She felt like doing it, and as you know, you don't tell your mother what to do. But I've told her that one day I'm going to write a book called My Mother, Marina and get my revenge.

"Not possible. I know who that is, and Yo-Yo Ma is a woman." I took out my driver's license to show him. I still don't think he believed me.
