Yeah, it's Monday. I should've done this on Friday, but I'm doing it now, and you're gonna like it!
1. Who is your favorite celebrity? Bono! Without a doubt. He spends the "currency of celebrity" (as he calls it) better than anyone I can think of. He's an amazing singer, songwriter, performer, advocate, and yeah, kind of a personal hero. If I could pen one song as great as half of U2's canon, I'd be pretty pleased with myself.
2. Who is your least favorite? This is a tough one. Kid Rock? Nah, cause I like his song "Picture" with Sheryl Crow. Britney? Too easy. Christina? Again, too easy. Fred Durst? For the third time, too easy!
3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life? I met the guys in Matchbox Twenty when I went to one of their concerts in Birmingham (pre-"Push" thank you very much). I met the guys from Jars of Clay last year. They were really cool, and they complimented me on the U2 shirt I was wearing. And when I visited my friend Andrea while she was working on the set of Scream 2, I saw Neve Campbell preparing for a scene. She looked at me. I was 17. I thought it was amazing. Now, not so much -- she's no Genia!
4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not? I think I would. For all the supposed hassle, I think it would be a lot of fun, and open a lot of doors that are not currently open to me.
5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why? Who else? Bono! But only if it was a day they were playing a concert! I want to be up on that stage singing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."
