I have to say my parents for raising me. They’re so incredibly generous and patient and just total sweethearts.

Happy brunch with my hubs and daughter and some friends or family, hike and chat with one of my besties, swim somewhere with the kiddo, eat a fancy dinner with friends, watch an amazing play / musical and then dance all night with friends. There’s enough time in a day for that, right?

I don’t remember the name of the restaurant! Can you believe that? It was in Sienna, and we walked by a crowded place filled with obviously locals and just told our waiter to bring whatever is best. And it was the best.

Deadpool.
19. Who was your first celebrity crush?
Jonathan Brandis. Rest in peace.
20. What would you cook if Nic Cage was coming to your house for dinner?
Not pork! I would ask my husband to cook (because he’s way better than me) a nice fresh vegetable pasta dish because it feels like Nic would like that.
