4. It’s your last meal — what are you going out with?
No! I don’t want to die! Fine. Grass fed burger. Medium. And since I’m dying anyway I’m EATING THE BUN.
5. What websites do you visit on a regular basis?
I check CNN every morning but I’m not sure why. I’ll admit I’m on IMDB quite a bit. Since my career is just starting I really like seeing who works with who. It’s like my actor encyclopedia. Also I love dictionary.com. I LOVE learning new words. Racy, I know.
6. What’s the most frequently played song on your mobile device?
I had a bad day yesterday so I went to the gym and listened to “Shake It Off”on repeat. So, my iPhone probably thinks that’s my favorite right now. In truth it’s the only Tay song I have. Sorry Tay.
7. If you could go back and give your 18-year-old self one piece of advice what would it be?
Lighten up! You’re doing fine! I’ve always been a really hard worker and sometimes I take things too seriously. My Dad used to tell me that I never cracked a smile before the age of 4. He found it hilarious. (Emoji blank stare.)
