What is your favorite US city and why? Savannah, Georgia. I love its Early American charm. The very layout of the city incorporates nature into park squares and the buildings are gorgeous, especially the Art School. And the trees have that neat Spanish moss.

If you could spend a day with a celebrity, who would you pick and why? Bono from U-2. I'll bet he leads an interesting life--the perfect blend of wholesome spirituality and rock-n-roll decadence! Plus, I'd FINALLY get to hear the band live.

If you could go back in time and give yourself advice, what would it be? Buy some Apple or Microsoft stock, 'cause I think this computer thing is really gonna take off!

Has any book or movie made an impact on you? Gone With the Wind. I must have read the book 10 times, and finally ran across the movie on TV. I remember thinking, wow. That scene where Scarlett is helping injured Confederate soldiers lying on the ground and the camera pans out to show the extent of the wounded was especially moving. And I love the scene where Scarlett vows to never go hungry again, Vivian Leigh in silhouette against a blood red sky. Powerful images!

If you could have any job in the world for one week, what would it be? I really love singing and would love to be a back-up singer, preferably for Sheryl Crow.
