Do you dare call it Frisco?
It's San Francisco. There is a first and last name of this fine city that demands respect.
Is there a San Franciscan you look up to & why?
My mother. Because she always taught me I must love what I do; There is no other choice.
Best late night snack is...
Popcorn with tons of butter...actually the popcorn is just a conduit for the butter.
What is beautiful in SF?
The ladies, the men, and the men who dress like ladies.
What would you NOT miss if you ever left SF?
Cold nights. I romanticize warm summer nights. I love NYC for that. We get our "one" warm summer night...it's like Carnival in Brazil. Everyone is out...which I love.
Where do you go to unwind?
Into my garden with my family.
You're proud to be a San Franciscan because...
It is where I was born. It is who I am. It is home.
