I think there's a little bit of me in all the characters, good and bad.

Free time? What's that? Ha ha ha ha. I have two children, I work on Sweep, I do laundry, read, watch movies. I do things with friends. Sometimes it feels like mostly I work and do housework, though. I love getting e-mails from people telling me how brilliant I am, and I'm like, standing there with bathroom cleaner in my hand.

I like virtually every color, depending on my mood, but I am very fond of orange.

Diet Coke. I limit myself to one a day, except when I'm really, really stressed, and then I have two. And water. And tea.

I'm Creole, from New Orleans, and we're kind of a little people. I'm 5'3", but I'm one of the taller females in my family, so I always thought I was an Amazon. Then I got out into the real world, and realized I was pretty short.

No. I don't follow any organized religion.
