Amy was nice enough to take a few minutes out of her busy schedule recently to answer a few questions from us.

Third season of Ray Donovan.

14. You have an entire day to do whatever you want. What would you do?
Meditate in the morning. Go to a farmers market, buy some great produce and gorgeous flowers. Head to the lake for a swim and picnic with my husband [assuming it’s in the summer :)]. Come home and take the dogs for a walk. Finish the evening with some wine and a great dinner or head to the movies.
