Johanna asked Elizabeth Gilbert:

If you weren't an author, which other profession would you have chosen?

Elizabeth Gilbert I can't imagine another life for myself besides the writing life, but I'll try: Public radio host. Or salesclerk at a fancy boutique, selling high-end shoes. Or singer-songwriter.

When you returned home to the USA after your travels, did you experience any sort of depression after the epiphanies in "Eat, Pray, Love"?

LeeAnn asked Elizabeth Gilbert:

If you weren't writing, how would your life be different, is there another creative path you might have taken?
