What is your motto?

Talk doesn't cook rice.

What superhuman power would you most want to have?

I'd like to be able to fly, so I wouldn't have to take the subway.

What makes you laugh?

"Two peanuts were walking down the street — one was assaulted." Ha!

Cats or dogs?

Woof.

Would you rather be a little smarter or a little sexier?

Both! I'd rather be "smexier."

Whichever has less traffic.

What's the one thing you'll never understand?

My parents.

What's the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to you?

My life would be simplier if...

I could answer this question simply — i.e., if I didn't overthink things.

The big decision I'm currently wrestling with is...

Kids. Am I ready to be a mom? What does "ready" mean?
