Q. What is your motto or maxim?

A. Do what you love, and never give up.

Q. What do you regret most?

A. I have no regrets. People make mistakes. It's all part of learning. As long as you learn from them, even a "bad" experience can be valuable. Hell, sometimes even more.

Q. What are your most overused words or phrases?

A. "Like" and "totally" and "I've fallen and I can't get up." Ugh.

Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?

A. A photographic memory

Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be?

A. On Oprah with my book. Next to that, I'd be up in a cabin on Whistler mountain, or in a cottage in Maui with my family, my laptop, and a good book to read.
