Favorite book—now and when you were a kid?
My favorite book as a kid was Superfudge by Judy Blume. It was so funny to me, I think that was the book that showed me reading was actually fun. I’m currently reading it with my 9 year son. The last good book I’ve read recently is True Haunting by Edwin Becker. Super creepy… Couldn’t put it down.

Interesting fact about yourself that people wouldn’t expect?
I have beaten everybody I know at Just Dance on the Wii.

Who would you invite—dead or alive—to your fantasy dinner party?
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I’ve always had a crush on him and now he’s all about motivating people and helping them be a better them. <3

Biggest guilty pleasure?
Chocolate milk. Anytime, all the time.

If you could learn anything instantly by downloading it into your brain Matrix-style, what would it be?
I would learn to speak Portuguese! All the good novelas (soap operas) are in Portuguese!

What is your most unappealing habit?
Always late—even thought of changing my license plate to “ALWZL8.”
