My life in 8 words: "Doors open, doors close. Doors close, doors open."
Nova Ren Suma Revealed
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. What if?
Q. What are your most overused words or phrases?
A. I say "awesome" far too much. The world cannot possibly be this awesome. I write "like" all the time and like to say it, like, constantly, and I bet it's really annoying. When I write, I tend to start sentences with the word "but," almost as if I'm arguing with myself. But then I try to edit them out.
Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?
A. Billie Holiday... I don't know what I would have asked, I just would have liked to know her.
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. Mystique.
Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?
A. Having all the time in the world.
