All-Time Favorite Movie?
I love Sophie's Choice.
Favorite Junk Food?
Kettle Chips, salt and vinegar. They say they're organic or whatever, but you know they're potato chips, right?
Favourite TV Show?
I love Charlotte’s Web. Actually, it’s not really a TV show. It was just fantastic.
What Historical Figure Would You Most Like to Meet?
Off the top of my head, there’s a lot of people. Who’d I like? I mean, there’s so many.
Favourite Possession?
I don’t really have a valued possession. I’m not really a pack rat 'cause you can’t keep anything anyway right?
Eat Our Or Home Cooking?
I like to cook. I’d love to do some more home cooking. Kirsten doesn’t like to cook, but I do. It just gets harder and harder. I got this new stove and I was so excited, but I can’t use it. I kinda stare at it every morning as I go to work and go, “Aw.”
Which one... Post-It Or PDA?
Post-it.
What First Attracts You To Another Person?
Humor.
Night Owl Or Early Riser?
I’m better at night.
Favourite Dessert?
Crème carmel and anything chocolate, again. With the crusty on the top you know, and you break it with your spoon. I don’t know what that’s called, but that’s really great.
What makes you angry?
Freeway driving in Los Angeles (laughs). You’re fine, then people start screaming at you.
Coffee Order?
Americana. Now I’m trying to quit coffee and you’re reminding me of coffee, so if I have one later it’s your fault.
Batman Or Superman?
That’s a tough one to answer. They’re both good right? Batman’s a little mysterious driving round in that batmobile right? (laughs)
Your Strangest Celebrity Experience
The summer I was in Italy and I was at the Vatican, I was standing there and looking at some art and I hear this “Kirsten” (laughs), so I kinda looked around and was like, “Okay, there’s got to be some American teenagers here somewhere.” So that was kinda interesting.
Guilty Pleasure?
Ah, I have a lot of those. Of course there’s chocolate. Italian chocolate is just beyond. You need a little guilty pleasure right?
What’s In Your Car Stereo?
Diana Kroll live in Paris, really great jazz. She’s really fantastic.
Cats Or Dogs?
Dog, cats are a little fussy. I don’t have a dog, but I am a dog person.
First Job?
Babysitting, that was my first gig.
First Concert?
No, I can’t remember my first concert.
Favorite Vacation Spot?
That’s hard. It depends what kind of vacation I want. I mean there’s places I love to go to. You can’t just ask that, 'cause it depends whether you want to walk around or lay on the beach. I love going to Italy and I love going to New York and if I want to go to a beach Hawaii’s always great. It depends what you want to do right?
Favorite Breakfast Cereal?
Go Raw Granola. They call it live food. It’s very crunchy, it's sprouted. It’s not just like cereal in a box. It’s really good for you.
What Book Is Currently On Your Nightstand?
I usually tend to read six at the same time. I read a lot of New York Times right now. You got a newspaper, you got a book you know. The New Yorker. I sorta have an ulser 'cause The New Yorker stack is stacking up. Trying to catch up on that and read that every day, you know a kind of range? Depending on what I’m in the mood to read.
What Did You Do Last Summer?
I went to Italy, which is what I did last summer (laughs).
What's your favorite healthy snack or meal?
I found some healthy ice cream today. It's sunflower almond - no dairy.
