The Personal Stuff:
The Book that changed your life: The Count of Monte Cristo
Your last meal of choice: Tacos Al Carbon, Rice and Beans, Tres Leches and loads of spicy-sweet Mezcal cocktails.
Your idea of perfect happiness: I will borrow from Hitchcock and say no stress and only creativity and love on the horizon.
Your idea of total misery: Spending your whole life too scared/insecure to live it as you see fit.
Five Fun Facts About You: I met Ali, have been in the Oval Office, was kissed on the cheek by Al Pacino, can rap along to most Eminem songs (much to my husband’s chagrin) and don’t like chocolate.
A great piece of advice: Focus on the problem and the problem gets bigger. Focus on the solution and the solution gets bigger. This was said by Elle Macpherson in an interview with Red Magazine and I had it on my wall. When I sat next to Elle at dinner in Barcelona, the first thing I did was thank her for sharing that advice!
Your biggest pet peeve: An ugly mix of laziness and entitlement.
Five things you cannot live without: Computer, Phone, Love, Friends, Creative work.
Finally, the best thing about life right now? My family and friends.
