11) Q. Who do you view as most influential in your life?
A. I view my parents, my close friends, and my spirituality as most influential in my life. I’ve inherited a good heart and a “salt of the earth” attitude from my parents, a healthy and fun outlook on life from my friends, and a hand to guide me from my spirituality.
12) Q. Who would you most like to meet and interview?
A. I would most like to meet Kofi Annan. He’s an amazing person with many influential and life changing stories to tell. He’s a born leader and I have a feeling that he’s an extremely wise man.
13) Q. What is your biggest weakness?
A. My biggest weakness is my tendency to believe what others say. I’ve learned the hard way that people are not always truthful and often, they'll tell you what they think you want to hear.
14) Q. What is your biggest strength?
A. My biggest weakness is also my biggest strength. I tend to see the good in others and I automatically believe what they say. But, I’ve learned that actions must match the words.
15) Q. Do you prefer working in movies or TV?
A. I’m not sure that I’ve found my niche yet. I love the excitement of a movie set. The intensity of a three or four month window of shooting is really exciting. But I do like the daily regimen of television. Ideally I would like to be on a sitcom as a permanent cast member.
16) Q. Which has been you’re favorite job so far?
A. Wow… let’s see. They have all varied from one another so much. I liked working on Intolerable Cruelty because the Coen brothers directed it and I think they have a unique style. I love magazine shoots because I can take on so many different looks and connect directly with the camera. If I had to chose, I'd say "The Wedding Crashers." The director, David Dobkin, allowed us to ad-lib and really work off of each other. How fun to get creative on a set with Owen Wilson!
17) Q. Do you work out a lot?
A. I wish I could say yes. But let’s be honest, sometimes I just don’t have the time. I love to hike, walk, and run- basically get outdoors. So whenever I have any spare time, I exercise. If I can get a good cardio/weight workout in three times a week-I'm happy!
18) Q. Do you have any pets?
A. I grew up with three black Labradors, which happen to be my favorite dogs! Unfortunately, they’re no longer here and I don’t have any pets at the moment. I desperately want another lab-maybe when I stop travelling as much. I find I have the need to take care of something, so right now I have a lot of really big, beautiful plants. I'm out of town a ton:)
19) Q. Do you like all the travelling which you do?
A.Yes! I love it. I’m at a time in my life where I can travel and be carefree. I love seeing new places and visiting different countries. It’s really great just experiencing various cities around the U.S., as well. I’ve gone everywhere from Minot, North Dakota to Nice, France. And I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
20) Q. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be?
A. I would have been more carefree growing up. I was such a perfectionist as a child and teen-ager. I wish I had known not to take life soooo seriously. Especially during those years.
