And faster still: I co-founded a non-profit publication while I was 16 (Tyro still prints today), and between editing the high school newspaper and participating in televised press conferences for LA Youth, I was twice published in the national Teen Ink, and regularly contributing to local publications — all before I could legally see rated-R movies.

What is the next…

Purchase you’ll make?

Iced Starbucks double-shot, sugar-free.

Trend in design?

Smart sex. Plenty of people make it drama, but so few take it seriously...

Car you’d like to own?

A driver.

Big step you’d like to make?

Paying someone to update this profile.

Fad that will fade?

C-listers slapping their names on made-in-China clothing. I don't even know who half these blond bots with jeans out are.

Vacation you’ll take?

Hmm?

Thing you’re going to fight for?

"Fight"? Wouldn't that involve sweating? Sounds vulgar.

Secret that’s going to leak?

I own a pair of sneakers. But my New Balances are like models who don't do cocaine -- no one believes they exist.

Life you’ll lead?

I've just started this one.

Fountain of youth?

Working passionately. And needles in 90210.

Book you’ll read?

Something by Ayn Rand, Henrik Ibsen, Edith Wharton, Nietzsche... Or Danielle Steele. And here you thought I spend evenings pouring over Vogue or W or something.

Thing that will change the world?

Independence.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Food? Guilt? I know neither.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

My MacBook. It's always been supportive of my career, and doesn't say anything when I visit YouPorn.com.
