You’re stranded on a desert island with one person. Who do you pick?
It’s going to sound weird, but Anne Burrell, from Worst Cooks in America on the Food Network. She’s a lesbian, she can cook, she’d be able to make something to eat from what’s on the island, and she wouldn’t expect anything from me.
What annoys you?
Entitled people that get mad when you treat them like they treat you.
What pleases you?
Somebody who’s the best they can be, who treats you well. Respectful people
If you could read the mind of someone famous, who would it be?
Either one of the Bushes, because I’d want to know what the hell they were thinking.
Who is your greatest influence or hero?
My mom. Without a doubt.
What’s your greatest fear?
Failure.
Roller coasters: Wooden or steel?
Steel, because I like the drops, loops and spins. You can do more with those than you can with the wooden ones.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Milk chocolate, caramel and anything raspberry.
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever had sex?
Parking-garage staircase. It was cold outside, so it was really annoying.
