Favorite quote?
"Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good hot black coffee, like this." – Special Agent Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks

Best piece of advice you ever got?
Let it in, and let it go.

You can invite three famous people (living or dead) to a dinner party. Who would you choose and why?
David Lynch, Carol Burnett, and Ann Wilson. It would be an evening filled with intriguing conversation, lots of laughter, and amazing music—all of my favorite things!

Sasquatch—real or fake?
Real! There’s way too much unexplored wilderness out there to say otherwise.

What were you most afraid of when you started college? How do you feel about it now?
Failure—Those college days were especially hard because I felt like so many people had such high expectations and were counting on me to succeed. That’s a lot to carry! It’s something I still struggle with at times, but now I know that there really is no such thing as failure as long as you learn something from the experience.
