Q: If you could have dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and what would you talk about?
A: I would love to speak to Marilyn Monroe. She was such an over achieving person, however, she allegedly did not have the most content life. I want to know how she feels about how society viewed her and her legacy. Also, I would like to get her input on the media’s controversial treatment of her and her eventual death.
Q: What movie could you re-watch and never get tired of?
A: I have two movies: Coraline and Alice in Wonderland (1951). Both movies are incredibly animated and surreal. The styles and characters are aesthetically up my alley and the films are quite charismatic.
Q: What’s your spirit animal?
A: Probably a sort of bird. I often find myself irritated by what is comfortable, and enjoy new experiences out of my comfort zone. I don’t want to be in one place forever. Just like a bird, I’d like to experience as much as humanly possible. Birds have an inherent control over their freedom and I feel that freedom is my power.
Q: Would you rather only read books or only watch movies?
A: Definitely books. Yeah, with movies you can still dissect plots and characters, but literature is such a major component in my life. By reading, I can expand my vocabulary, language, scope of symbolism, etc. Through literature I can perfect my craft and use the English language to express myself further. At the moment, I am reading The Divine Comedy.
