A. Live, and let live.

A. Well, I smile a lot. I'm usually a pretty happy person and I like findng the humor in things.
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. I can't think of anyone specific but I imagine it would be a villain who, despite his/her bad intent, would be someone I could either feel sorry for or understand why they wanted what they wanted, and weren't just a cardboard, pure evil figure.

A. Ha! I'm pretty sure it would depend on who you asked. I'm going to choose determination, as once I sink my teeth into something I want it takes an act of God to make me drop it again.
