What did you want to be when you grew up? Did your parents support you?
I wanted to be a ballerina. No joke, I wanted to perform Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to a packed house as the star of the NYC Ballet.
My mother supported me all the way, I think it was because I looked so damn cute in a tutu.
What is your biggest regret?
That I lived my life for someone else for so long, without seeing that they neither cared nor appreciated my sacrifices for their better end.
What advice would you give or what would you say to the 16 year old you?
Study when you get to college. Do not go out and party, it will only make your life harder. Do not marry the first person who asks, he isn't worth it, and he won't love you like you deserve.
You are worth more than you think you are, hold out for someone who sees you like that.
Okay, give me a brief idea of your childhood and upbringing.
There were bedtime stories, Barbie dolls, and much dancing in the living room. It was just myself, my mother, and my younger brother for the early years, and we all revolved around one another like a tiny solar system. She was our sun, and she held us up. Eventually, I decided to become my own solar system, and my younger brother decided he didn't like the section of sky we were in and took off for the Black. I think he is a Reaver now.
I'm starting to rotate back to the galaxy I came from, as fast as gravity will let me.
What is your favorite show to watch on television?
Anything criminal. Nightmare Next Door, Deadly Women, Criminal Minds, Profiler, The First 48, Dr. G, On the Case with Paula Zahn. I'm fascinated by how criminals think, especially those like Manson, Dahmer, Bundy, Jack the Ripper, it's so much fun to get inside their head and pick out why they did what they did.
What is your favorite band or musician?
Due to many years in a ballet studio, I'm a huge fan of classical music. Debussy is a current favorite, but I'll circle back to the heavy piano and violins before too much longer.
All time favorite dessert?
Marble cake with chocolate (or vanilla) buttercream icing. I like it best with the icing is a little crispy on the outside, and it clings to the fork.
Your ideal favorite meal?
Rare sirloin steak (be it beef, deer, elk, caribou, reindeer, bison, etc), with roasted red potatoes with whole roasted garlic cloves (and dashed with rosemary leaves), pan seared asparagus drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, baked carrot chunks, and homemade biscuits. With a slightly chilled Riesling, not too cold and not yet room temperature.
What is your favorite movie?
Dirty Dancing. Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
I'm giving you $25,000.00 and it can only be used for a vacation. You have 6 nights, 7 days and the plane tickets are already paid for. Where are you going? Where are you staying? And, what is one thing you want to do that week?
IRELAND. I would stay at the Hayfield Manor Hotel, in the Master Suite. I would walk around the rooms naked, I'd shower in the lavish tub, and I might even eat dinner in the room naked.
I would do... nothing. I wouldn't plan a single day, no wake up calls, no itinerary, no guide books.
I'd take my camera, my money, my hotel key, and my tube of Nivea chapstick.
I would wander the streets, eating french fries drizzled with malted vinegar, and I'd have a pint at a pub, and I would just soak in everything I could.

Oooo Ireland. Look how well planned out you are!!!! I hope you get to do that someday!
And... your gorgeous smile would have been wasted as a ballerina - those people don't eat or smile. I suspect they smile less because they don't eat - that would totally piss me off!
