If you could be a celebrity for a day, who would it be? Why? Paula Deen (from "Cooking with Paula Deen", 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. daily). She turns simple ingredients into an incredible Southern feast! Her talent is nothing short of amazing, and will remain unparalleled in my eyes forever. One of my secret goals is to be a guest assistant on the show….even if I don't cook anything, I think I could do a great job of taste-testing.
Other Languages? Enough Spanish to survive in Spain for two weeks, and a little bit of ASL (American Sign Language).
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Honestly, I would love to travel the world for a few years...but as far as a permanent residence, you can't beat Southern California.
What is your favorite season and why? Trojan football season...enough said.
If you could spend the day with anyone in the world, past or present, who would it be? Probably distant relatives whom I have never met; I love being with family and learning about heritage.
Who is your favorite basketball player and why? "The Admiral", David Robinson. He never played the game for fame or money, but simply for the love of the game. You don't see that much anymore. And yes, I have his Wheaties box up in my room.
Anything interesting you would like Celtics fans to know about you? I am a two-time Supermarket Sweep champion.
