Music can create a moment, a mood, a feeling... music is such a beautiful background for life. I love anything from The Cumbia Kings to John Legend. I have a VERY wide taste in music.
Movies
I love so many movies from so many genres that it's hard to say my top picks, but here's an idea of my range:
I LOVE Quentin Tarantino! My favorite was "Reservoir Dogs" until Kill Bill came along... although Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink, is one of my FAVORITE actors so I'm going to have to stick with "Reservoir Dogs" as my top Quentin movie. Adam Sandler never fails to make me laugh. "What do you think Mr. Penguin?"(Billy Madison) To list a few more... Lord of the Rings, Willow, The Usual Suspects, The Shawshank Redemption, Moulin Rouge, Snatch, Seven, Schindler's List, Amorres Perros, Never Ending Story, Star Wars, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the list goes on...
Television
Best show of all time... Seinfeld!
Books
I've read so many great books in my adult years, but the ones that stay with me and always put a smile on my face are my childhood books. The lessons I learned at such a young age. The book that stands out the most was given to me by my first grade teacher, Ms. Edwards, called "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. This book taught me love, patience, forgiveness and most of all... how to give even when there's not much to share. Material possessions are temporary, but love is forever.
Heroes
I continued to be stunned by friends, family, filmmakers, leaders and when it all comes down to it... I never fail to be astonished by my sisters. Their strength inspires me every day. I Love you Michelle & Alexandra.

Wrapped filming on the International feature film from Bavaria! Bavaria, recently being recognized as the 'Miramax of Europe', cast me as the female lead, Shannon Senora, for their next film 'Short Cut To Hollywood' where I get to work with Berlin's famed writer/directors Marcus Mittermeier and Jan Stahlberg; well known for their 2004 film 'Quiet as a mouse' (OT Muxmäuschenstill), which won several awards and were acclaimed by the European press and public. Their names stand for a new refreshing way of dealing with problems of modern society.
After two weeks of filming from Florida to New Mexico, I wanted to share my adventures with our German production across the country:

The moon how it glitters on the ocean Venus above stays close linked in motion Dawn will appear a few hours away Here the magic of this moment forever will stay.
Macrocosm microcosm as above so below Windows to infinity wherein we must go That deep inner calling rises up to be free And yes it happens inside of you quite suddenly.
Listen now as the wind sings it song Its carries in its the melody a love sure and strong It is there for you notice to shelter cares today. So bind them up with feathers and toss them all way.
Be wise to learn the language of the heart In everything you do there you will start To dare a dream come true know it must be so And let it run, or let it fly may it soar let it go.
You are never done believing that’s what life is all about. Around you now are dancers in a circle all together hear them shout.
