1. What is your most marked characteristic? I have a very sarcastic sense of humor. I think it catches a lot of people off guard, especially when I’m talking to guests we have on the show.
2. What is the quality you most like in a man? Drive and ambition, but the ability to be laid back at the same time
3. What is the quality you most like in a woman? Not taking herself too seriously
4. What do you most value in your friends? Knowing that wherever we are and whatever time it is day or night, they will be there for me. I have many of the same friends that I grew up with and they all have that quality.
5. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? If procrastination were a sport, I would go pro. I need deadlines and pressure to complete something otherwise I’ll put it off. I also tend to interrupt people a lot.
6. What is your idea of perfect happiness? A beach, a cocktail and a book!
7. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Losing hope and the capacity to love and care for others
8. Who are your favorite writers? James Patterson, Curtis Sittenfeld
9. What is your current state of mind? Happy, but a bit preoccupied with everything I want to get accomplished this week.
10. What is your motto? Everything happens for a reason
11. What is your greatest fear? Losing people close to me
12. What is your greatest extravagance? Traveling. So far this year I’ve been to Arizona, Florida and Mexico. I’m planning a few other trips this summer, too.
13. On what occasion do you lie? When I know it’s better than the truth
14. What do you dislike most about your appearance? My feet. I grew up dancing and run a lot now so my feet are always scarred or have calluses. I also have a random, curved toenail on my left foot and a birthmark on my right foot that looks like a dirt stain. It’s awkward.
15. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I use the words amazing and exactly waaaay to much
