Pamela Ribon Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Live your life in more than eight words. Q. What’s your best quality? A. My brain is holding onto all the useless crap yours had the good sense to forget. Q. What is your greatest achievement? A. Look, I've published some novels. I ran a marathon. I finally found a haircut my mother likes. I've done a lot of traveling and I've been incredibly lucky in an industry where the odds are stacked against you daily. But one day I saw Brad Pitt jogging. THAT was a really good day. Q. What are your 5 favorite songs? A. "The Good Life" -- Weezer, "Idioteque" -- Radiohead, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," "Distractions" -- Zero 7, "It's Oh So Quiet" -- Bjork, and like, three hundred other songs. This is an impossible for me. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. I know this from what people say when they're mocking me. "Oh, I see." Learn more about Pamela Ribon
