What I miss most about living in Alaska is the fishing.
I am a bit in love with a new designer, George Hobeika; I have worn him a couple of times on the carpet. Ralph Lauren is another one I really have fun with.
I've been pulled over five times for speeding - and talked my way out of every single ticket!
For me, being successful meant not having to do my laundry at a laundromat and not having a second job.
The way that I grew up, we ate very whole, real, natural foods.
I am a chameleon when it comes the way I dress. I am constantly changing it up, and I really can't commit to one thing because dressing for the day or for an event is really a mood thing. I like variety, and I don't mean just designers, I mean mixing the high-end garments and the cheaper clothing.
I like to know what's in my food and in my drinks. It's really important for me.
I'm such a good sleeper that I can have tea any time of day, and I will have no problem taking a nap. I'm a professional napper.
I did 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' a while ago, and Lady Gaga was in the dressing room next to mine. The outfit she wore walking down the hall was even more fabulous than what she wore onstage!
I'm lucky if I get my nails done, period.
I grew up in Dutch Harbor, Alaska - a place so tiny, we got only one channel on TV. The high school and middle school had 50 kids total!
I went to college and did theatre. After that, I spent about three years in Seattle doing French theater and community theater and sorting it all out. Then I applied to graduate school and got accepted, so I started pursuing my master's in theatre at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.
I don't have a wine cellar. Just tea day and night.
I'm really a cook. I used to be the opposite - I used to go out a lot - but now I primarily cook.
I never shy away from herbs!
I try to stick to the natural peanut butter, and I have several jars in the cupboard. I'll put it on oatmeal, rice cakes, chocolate... I just love it.
I love seeing a young woman embrace who she is.
I certainly witnessed bullying as a teen in both a small and a big school setting. I feel like it is a universal topic.
My dishes tend to have a very carefree style: what's ripe at the farmers market or what's in my fridge, even if I'm cleaning out my fridge. It tends to be a very improvisational style. I major in salads, but a loose definition of salad; it can have a real robust skirt steak on top of it off the grill or quinoa or buckwheat or sprouted almond.
I just have to stay away from craft services. Having that routine allows me to keep absolute focus on the physical shape I want to be in. It's also important to allow yourself to have treats every once in awhile, so I indulge in dark chocolate. It's just a balance, for the most part!
