I love writing villains because I was the big sister of five girls, so I had heavy responsibility growing up. I had to be 'the good girl.'

I love being the bad guy, simply because I was always so responsible, so predictable growing up.

In my opinion, Armani, better than any other designer, does great things for the female form. And a pair of Levis does great things for the male physique. Not that I look.

I 'climbed' Sandia Peak outside Albuquerque. Which is really piddling as far as mountains go. It's a mere 9,000 feet and some change, and what I went up was a path on one of the gentler slopes. It's about seven miles to the summit, and I walked it with my husband, son, and brother-in-law. For me that was a tremendous accomplishment.

I enjoy being busy, I really do. Remember, I'm the stub end of the railroad. I have no family, so I'm not taking busy time away from people that I should be spending it with. So I'm just relaxing and enjoying it.

I wasn't born to a wealthy or powerful family - mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx.

My parents separated when I was very small. I grew up with my mother, and I was a single child then. She was very independent, doing her things and having fun alone and working.

I have the best possible life because I believe in the mission I'm making, and I'm making money out of something I enjoy, and I travel.
