| The first thing I’d love to talk about is my love of writing. Ever since I was a little girl I always had a great passion for writing and it has carried me many times in my life. I always feel better after I’ve written something be it a letter, a script, or a card. Recently, I completed writing two screenplays and am in the process of editing them before I start giving them out to other people to read and comment on. I recall a certain film project I was acting in a couple of years ago where I had the rare opportunity to work very closely with the director and writer. I wound up, with their permission of course, rewriting many of the scenes in which I was involved in order to help with the flow of the dialogue. They told me that they were so impressed; they wanted me to help rewrite dialogue for some of the other characters as well. I never wound up telling the other actors in the film about my involvement, but every time I heard someone say a line I had written, it was such a thrilling feeling. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to write a screenplay and see it produced. I’m happy to say that I’m getting closer and closer to that goal.

There is nothing more relaxing to me than listening to music at night after a long day of filming. I love current music when I’m driving, but at home, I tend to prefer more new age, classical, and Celtic sounds. My favorite female artist of all time is Sarah Brightman and my favorite male artist is Steve McDonald. My sister surprised me last year with tickets to a Sarah Brightman concert. We had absolutely unbelievable seats and as soon as she started singing songs from “The Phantom of the Opera” I actually started to cry! Her voice is so pure and moving, and the fact that she was in my very favorite play just made it all the more special. My 5 favorite CD’s now are: 1. Meav – Hearts of Space
2. Steve McDonald – Sons of Somerland
3. R. Carlos Nakai – Canyon Trilogy
4. Sarah Brightman - Harem
5. Mediaeval Baebes - Mirabilis

Books are another great passion of mine as I find myself reading all the time whether I’m on a movie or television set, at a coffee house, or just lying on the beach or by my pool. Ever since we were very young, my mother always took us for regular trips to the library. She believed in furthering our education outside the classroom by opening our minds to the amazing journey each book had to offer. This belief has followed us into adulthood and Ashley and I continue to read voraciously and as often as we possibly can. I read a wide variety of subject matters and I’ve decided to list my top 5 favorite books of the moment:
1. Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
2. Cryptozoology A-Z – The Encyclopedia by Loren Coleman & Jerome Clark
3. An Illiad by Alessandro Baricco
4. The Resort by Bentley Little
5. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

| And of course, no list would be complete without adding a little fun and girlie information as well. Like any young woman, I have my obsession with make up, perfume, clothing, and hot guys. I have drawers full of lip gloss (a serious fascination, my sister has been trying to cut me off for years) and more jeans than I know what to do with. Below is my list of a few of my favorite things: 1. Vincent Longo lip gloss in “Coral Cabana”
2. Skinny jeans by Kitson and Miss Sixty
3. Platform sandal wedges by Giuseppe Zanotti
4. Hair care products by Unite
5. “Femme Fatale” perfume by Starring Fragrances
6. Green Tea Ice Blended from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
7. Sushi, especially Rainbow Rolls and Dragon Rolls
8. Any and every purse by Louis Vuitton
9. Jane Iredale make up, love her blush in Cotton Candy
10. PayDay Pro High Protein Energy Bar
