What is your most memorable childhood experience?My most memorable early childhood experience is hearing my mother sing as she held me. She was singing "So This is Love" from "Cinderella." Thinking of it gives me peace.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I identify most with my sister, with whom I share many common interests. I have always considered her to be one of my best friends, and I never felt as though we were at odds. We've always gotten along well, and though we may have different talents I feel we're both very strong individuals.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?Above all else I admire someone who is passionate about what they do. Someone who applies all their energy and capabilities into every pursuit, leaves no avenue unexplored, and isn't afraid to take chances and risk failure.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?When I was a child, I accidentally knocked down an entire set while I was called up on stage during a magic show.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?I would travel to Singapore. Everything is beautiful and new there, the people are intelligent and helpful, everyone speaks some degree of English, and it's a very young and fashionable city with wonderful food, nightlife, and culture.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?Honestly, I'd want my children to be their own people, make their own mistakes, and be responsible for their own actions. The more I would try to force things on them, the less they'd be able to explore their interests and develop their talents.
