A: That’s easy—the birth of my little sister. I was four. I still remember looking through the glass while my father pointed her out to me.
A: I am very devoted to the act of creation. It supersedes everything else in my life.
A: I have a subscription to the Criterion channel ;)
A: I wrote a very confessional novel, a mad coming-of-age tale.
A: Reading fiction, reading philosophy, learning history, the beach, working out, running, swimming, cycling, theatre, film, dance, art, music, learning new languages, learning old languages. If I had more time on my hands at the moment, I'd be practicing my Spanish, and as soon as I felt comfortable with that, I'd probably learn Korean. Then, maybe Farsi, Ancient Greek, Italian and Portuguese bc I think I could pick those two up fairly quickly, then Old English. I want to complete a collection of short stories. If I had all the resources in the world, I'd be taking singing lessons, learning piano, learning guitar, and taking post-baccalaureate classes in economics...seriously!
A: I like to find the funniness in the imperfections, even the tragedies, of daily life. I hope I'd share something I think is funny and that you would think is funny as well :)
A: I'm very curious about people, about people's stories, and their relationships. I find being judgmental or others being judgmental a limiting act, violent act. I don't practice one-upping people. I think community is essential.
A: I love connecting with people. Physicality is one way to connect. Yet we have multiple ways of making connections with each other. Each of us is unique. Each connection we make with an other is also unique. I want to find out what will be our unique way of connecting with each other.
A: I have to perform. I have to write. I have to laugh. I have to be physically active. And I NEED nature!!!
A: Performing live in the theatre, writing fiction, the ocean, pizza, and beer ;)
A: I LOVE to travel. I love exploring different cultures and different languages. If I could be doing anything right now, I'd be touring Latin America, honing my Spanish language skills, and surfing the Pacific.
A: I think pleasure is essential to being human and experiencing a full life.
A: I absolutely love to laugh. I need funny in my life!
A: I really have a wonderful ability at making other people feel comfortable. I hold space for others, inviting others to be themselves, and allowing people to express themselves.
