Mostly I do Iyengar. I like anything that's hard enough to make me cry in class. I like to be pushed over my limit and broken down a little bit.

I think artists need the freedom to fail and I gave myself that freedom.

I was a really bad teenager and I got my tongue pierced. I don't even remember where I did it, but it was under very surreptitious circumstances.

Oh, I love to read more than anything. I always love the 'New Stories From the South' anthologies - I think it's the best short fiction collection anywhere, just filled with treasures.

I think more civil society programs, more free enterprise, more contacts with their fellow brethren in Miami - that's good for the long-term, and that's an investment in America's long-term relationship with the Cuban people, not the Cuban government.

Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.

The potential strength of female friendship and the bonds that can be formed, especially over a lifelong relationship, is very profound.

I don't mind it. My friends think it's kind of rude of the people to come up to me and treat me like an object.
