Where is your favorite place to go alone?

My bedroom or my house in general. I enjoy being alone there and I don't usually get to be, having two roommates.

Into the dark little recesses of evil that dwell simmering beneath my cool facade.

Out to my family's to work my horses. It's like meditation.

The beach. Or a closet. I like the idea of having a big closet that I can close and hide in. Like I'm eight playing hide in seek.

Have you ever dressed in drag? Were you attractive?

No.

Um ... er, ah. No.

I have never even desired to dress in drag.

Yes and FUCK YEAH. I'm one sexy bitch.

Nope, though if I had a nice pinstriped suit and old-fashioned hat I could be coaxed into dragging à la Madonna in that video, I think it was "Vogue." Very sexy.

Who is your favorite visual artist or work of art?

I have so many favorite artists ... Chuck Close's work is visually stunning to behold in person; Cindy Sherman is fabulous as well; the old standard of Picasso is generic but so right on; Vermeers' are beautiful but not as thought provoking as I'd like; and Henri Rousseau's work always draws me in. I can't say which is my favorite, they all are and more!

I've been on a Rubens kick for a while now. His aggressive, unapologetic use of color and solitary, nearly deifying compositions really blow away the earth tones and obeisance common to the other, mostly biblical, offerings of the time. He elevates the medium.

Van Gogh's blue collection.

I am so white trash that I'm drawing a blank.

Almost anything by Mark Rothko, especially his color blocks of yellows, reds and oranges. I also like Bernini's "The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa." Call me old-fashioned but a classic Baroque work like that is always awe-inspiring. And though I don't find the piece visually appealing, the way Monet achieves morning light on snow in his "Haystacks" is phenomenal. I never understand why people hold his Waterlily series in such high regard when clearly his mastery is in his use of light on the snow.

Who was your hero growing up?

I always loved Superman. I remember watching the cartoon and would follow his advice. I remember getting in a jam and I would say, "What would Superman do?" That became very impractical when I started jumping off roofs thinking I could fly.

Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Marino.

I had three hero's: Leonardo Da Vinci, explorer Richard Burton, and Buckaroo Banzai.

Indiana Jones. When I was little, I'd pretend I was an archaeologist/explorer and I'd have to overcome immense odds and adventure was around every corner. I remember one time it was snowing and really cold (approximate age: nine) and my sister and I had gone sledding. We were trudging home down Marcy Street through the snow and my sister got so cold and tired. She got on the sled and I pulled her home, imagining myself a selfless adventurer with the endurance and willpower of an ox.

I was always fond of the pope (John Paul II) being a good catholic girl but my older sisters were strong role models as well.

A four-way tie between Larry Bird, Michael J. Fox, Eddie Murphy and Ronnie James Dio.

What is your most indispensable beauty product?

Eyebrow powder. I will even be confidant without mascara if my eyebrows are powdered. This discovery changed my life. But then so did those newfangled eyelash curlers. They rock and they don't fuck my lashes.

Vitamin E. Takes care of everything.

Soap.

Black Currant lipstick from The Body Shop and Oil of Olay moisturizer

It's a tie between any good shampoo/conditioner in one and Prescriptives cream-based foundation in a handy-dandy compact. I'm big on most two-in-one type products. Another "product" I constantly use is Kevyn Aucoin's book, Making Faces. Unreal how useful that is.
