Favorite singer: Barry Manilow. His songs make you want to hang yourself, but they are romantic as hell.

Favorite movie: I loved Love Actually, it was a perfect soap opera. It made me laugh and cry.

Greatest Fear: fear itself.

If I could only keep one household appliance, it would be: coffeemaker. I’m a nightmare before coffee.

Favorite item of clothing: my Seven jeans. They make my heiney look fine-y!

Something you’d be surprised to know about me: My friends call me “the vault.” I am the best secret keeper in the world.

Currently reading: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (by Joseph Murphy).

Worst quality: I leave things behind. It drives me crazy.

My first kiss: Jeez, who remembers? It was too many semesters ago. But I do remember my best kiss.

Something that makes me see red: when people gossip.

If I could live anywhere, it would be: New York City or a surrounding area – or somewhere in the desert.

Greatest love: God. He has been there every happy and sad minute of my life.

Quality I like most in a mate: humor; sensitivity; affection; ability to show vulnerabilities; smart.

My hero: Christopher Reeve. Unbelievable courage!

Nobody knows I can: think about six things at once and be focused on all of them.

Person who I would choose to play me in a movie: Kate Hudson

In the event of a fire, aside from human beings or animals, the one possession I would save: my Blackberry.

I never committed a crime, except that time I: stole a bunch of candy when I was 8 and got caught red-handed, literally red-handed. They were cinnamon!

My epitaph: “She was a decent actress, but an amazing friend and lover. She lived her life to the fullest and as she wanted to.

What I would title my autobiography: Cat Tales or Nine Lives
