If you were to receive any existing public award, what award would you like to win?

Please tell us about a defining moment in your life
When I gave birth to my daughter.

If you could foresee a single day of your future in its entirety, what date would you select?

What are you passionate about?
My children, creating art, politics, annoying my husband.

What has been your proudest accomplishment?
Being a good mother. I think there's nothing higher to strive to than to devote yourself to creating a safe and loving place for your children, and some days it's difficult!

Misato's Kitchen. Not only is the food amazing and affordable, but it's run by a husband and wife team who are just the nicest people in the WHOLE WORLD. HI MISATO!

If you were trapped in an elevator with several wealthy investors from any field, which field would you want them to be experts in? What would say to them/talk about?

The lack of ethnic food - and how late restaurants stay open!
