Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Well, my motto is Be Here Now. But I've taking my new my main character's motto for a test drive. "I'm Gigi Lane and you wish you were me." I think it's really helping my confidence! Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. Dude, get out! That's awesome, I'm so stoked! Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. The Eagle and the Hawk by John Denver, Carnival by Bikini Kill, Travelin' Through by Dolly Parton, Ee-I-Ee-I-Eeeee by my daughter, Cubs in Five by the Mountain Goats Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. would *love* to be able to sing. Have you ever read the book Bastard out of Carolina, by Dorothy Allison? If you haven't, you should, but it's for grown-ups and it deals with some really painful, intense stuff, but it is one of my favorite books in the whole world. Anyway, the main character, a girl named Bone, describes her wish to be able to sing in the most beautiful, heart-breaking way, where you can just feel inside of you how badly she wants it. It's a most perfect, crushing description of want. Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain? A. He Who Shall Not Be Named Learn more about Adrienne Maria Vrettos
