What are you up to these days? What's the newest and greatest thing you're speaking about as you're traveling?
If you love television, I grew up watching television. I grew up as an ugly, awkward, goofy little girl who didn't have a lot of friends because I had a problem with my mouth. I couldn't talk. And so I had a slight friend issue. People couldn't understand what I was saying, which is why I think communication is so vitally important to me today. And I grew up watching lots of TV, and I always had these idols. James Bond, for example. Talk about manifestation. I wanted to be James Bond. And I will tell you, I've led my life that way. I've traveled around the world. I've scuba dived. I've snow skied, jumped out of helicopters, even did a little espionage. But it's an interesting thing when you get what you want because you believe you can.
