What was your favorite cartoon when you were a kid?
Scooby-Doo. But I never really liked cartoons. I’ve always been very old for my age.

Who’s your greatest influence?
I influence myself. I’m an individual.

What’s your greatest fear?
I’m not really afraid of anything.

Pick three people, living or dead, who you think would make the most fascinating dinner guests imaginable.
Jesus; Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha; and myself. I think that’d be fascinating, to see a physical version of yourself from another person’s perspective.

What would you serve?
Lots and lots of Champagne.

How would you describe your dream guy?
Confident and intelligent, but looks a little stupid.

Define good in bed.
Confident and adventurous?

Who should star in a movie about your life?
Me, obviously.

Who was your first celebrity crush?
Nick Carter. Actually, all of the Backstreet Boys. I like the blond hair.

Who gets on your nerves?
Somebody who can’t appreciate another person’s perspective.
