We’ll just say she’s a busy lady, so let’s get to it!!!
1. What is your favorite food?
Salt. Oh, and all the vehicles for salt. Salty cheese, salty chips, salty pretzels … hell, you could just give me a salt lick. Although, my perfect mean would be burrata cheese on Wheat Thins, Italian bread with salted olive oil, cabernet and a donut. Tonight I’ll be having salad. Sigh.
2. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? (any galaxy or planet fictional or otherwise)
I would pick Anne McCaffrey’sPern, though later in the series. I’d be cool with being a dragonrider, Harper, engineer … Her world is so well-drawn, and the upheaval changes (or actually, returns) equality for women. I also love the idea of a fictional world with no religion. You don’t see that very often. It’s not a debate, it’s not a question. It just doesn’t exist. There’s just science.
3. Who is you favorite superhero?
It’s hard to pick one. I’ve loved Spider-Man and Batman, and, of course, Wonder Woman my whole life. If you consider people with the Force superheroes, I’d go with Princess Leia. I’m currently loving Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Spider-Gwen. I guess my favorite would be Leia. (Shocker.) She doesn’t really need to be rescued, she takes the death of her entire planet and puts it aside to keep fighting, she’s funny, she makes friend with the same Ewoks that were going to eat her friends, she’s a better shot than all the Stormtrooperscombined and she calls people scruffy-looking nerf herders. How can you beat that?
4. If you could make your ownLEGO set, what would it be?
You’d expect me to say something Star Wars, right? The thing is, we have a ton of those. I’d actually like a Pern set. Maybe of the Harper Halland one of Benden Weyr? Come on! LEGO dragons!
I co-hosted a show with Stan Lee and when the cameras were off, he constantly said lovely things about his wife. How could I not pick him for ‘marry?
F*** David Tennant, not for him so much as for the Doctor. Though, he’d probably have me laughing too much to do anything. Kill Stephen Amell because, well, there wasn’t another choice. No offense, Stephen.
