I think it'd be sort of creepy to name someone. And I've never thought about it.

Favourite Chinese food?

Dim sum, because I can't pick just one.

Do you believe in the death penalty? Why or why not??

Historically speaking, I don't believe people can be trusted to make that decision.

I don't think I would. At least, I'm not feeling creative at the moment.

It can't be written in English.

What do you think your 15 minutes of Fame will be or has been.

It'll be winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I just have to figure out how.....

What question do you wish people would stop asking you?

It's a toss up between: how old are you, how much do you weigh, and when are you going to have children?

Describe your first kiss. (PG please).

Horrible, just horrible. I must have totally blocked it out because I barely remember it.

What is your biggest flaw.

Biggest flaw is really hard. Indecisiveness?

Spend time with family, friends, and overindulging in all of my favourite foods.

What Christmas song do you absolutely hate?

Ones re-written from the original lyrics.

What makes you laugh out loud?

Cats doing funny things while looking so serious. Chipmunks thinking they have more room in their mouths for just one more nut...

What was the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you and what was your reaction?

Again, it's hard to pick the most embarrassing. There are just so many....

What questions do you often ask yourself?

Where did I put my keys? What am I doing? and Why am I doing this?

Generally no, but it would depend on the severity.

What sensible request would you ask of someone, as you lay on your death bed?

Please serve me a piece of the triple chocolate layer cake first.

Do you like to travel and where have you been?

Yes, though not too far. Loved standing on the podium at the Vancouver Olympics while they were setting up, standing at the top of Whistler, in Banff National Park, on the shores of Lake Louise, with the statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, being called "Princess" by Cinderella at DisneyWorld, nose pressed up against the original Tiffany & Co. window in New York....

Favourite place to vacation?

Anywhere out of the house!

If you were a food, what would you be?

Ice cream! I could be a different flavour every day! And according to the Muppets, it's the second greatest thing in the world.

What's the craziest present you've heard/seen kids [ages 4-10] asking from santa and what you think about it.

A Ferrari - and that's okay. I want crazy things too.

If you saw someone "losing it" with a child, a senior, a pet, would you scold them, ignore it, or offer your help?
