What's the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
Fried alligator. It's really good!

Name a pet you have owned and how you came to name her.
When I was younger, I had a Cocker Spaniel and my favorite movie was Lady and the Tramp. My dog looked just like Lady, so that's what I named her.

How many handbags do you own?
I can't keep count!

Pen or Pencil?
Pen. It makes you think before you write because you can't erase it.

Short way slow. That way I can truly experience everything along the way.
