Samantha [http://listography.com/7818287755] is where I got this list from. Thanks, girl!

  • How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? Forever young. I'd love to be me at 16 again. Incredibly naive, but having an amazing time.
  • Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying. What am I doing with my life again?
  • If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Because the majority of people are afraid. I won't be that girl.
  • When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? I sincerely hope not.
  • What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? Hate. Abolish hate. All kinds of hate.
  • If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? Luckily...the work I'm doing! Huzzah.
  • Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? I am absolutely doing what I believe in.
  • If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? Not much differently, honestly. I like to think that I'll die at a young age anyway, so I've got a lot of livin' to do.
  • To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? To the upmost. Granted, not 100% because there were parents and rules and shit, but other than that? I have been incredibly blessed to do what I want, when I want, how I want.
  • Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? I think it really depends on what's being done.
  • You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? Restore order. Remind ridiculous lunch friends that they're being a little out of hand, and that you respect the person they're talking about.
  • If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Follow your dreams.
  • Would you break the law to save a loved one? Depends on the situation. If I didn't know the situation, then on impulse yes.
  • Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? Yes, I'm a freakin' actor.
  • What’s something you know you do differently than most people? I don't know, actually. I wanted to say something weird I do in the morning as part of my routine, but I'm sure someone out there does it too. I don't open my mouth when I put on mascara? Lame answer, I know.
  • How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? This is a stupid question. Because people are different, nimrod.
  • What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? Fall in love. And have sex be a bi-product of that. Yeah, I know, that's sad. But it's also sad I did that backwards. Well. You live and you learn.
  • Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? Isn't everyone? In some way or form?
  • If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? London. New York. Gimme a city, with theatre, and work for me. Get me outta the Lou!
  • Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Yes, by reflex I think! I haven't ever thought it made it faster. I think I did it because I'd always watch my mom do that.
  • Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Joyful simpleton, hello?
  • Why are you, you? ....Why not?
  • Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? Absolutely.
  • Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? A good friend moves away - you can't keep in touch with them that easily. A good friend who lives near you but you fall out of touch means it wasn't meant to be. Friendship is a two way street, folks.
  • What are you most grateful for? My opportunities, my family, my friends, being able to do what I love.
  • Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? This one sucks. I want both. I guess lose all the old memories. How terrible though.
  • Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first? I don't think so.
  • Has your greatest fear ever come true? No.
  • Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? Yes, and absolutely not!
  • What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special? The Kindergarten music recital. It was the day I decided what I was going to do with my life. Pretty deep for a five-year old.
  • At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? September 10th, 2010. A truly blessed day.
  • If not now, then when? When I graduate college.
  • If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? My dignity? Oops, this is getting negative.
  • Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? No...I'm a talker.
  • Why do religions that support love cause so many wars? Good question. I don't feel fit to discuss it.
  • Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? No ma'am. But some things I'd like to believe are black and white.
  • If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? Absolutely not. It'd make my job much easier.
  • Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? The latter, of course.
  • Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? No.
  • When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? Last week-ish?
  • If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? My loved ones. Family, and my close 6 friends who truly care. They know who they are.
  • Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? I'm already extremely attractive. BAM. (Just kidding, and no, I don't have the desire to be famous. Just live and let live.)
  • What is the difference between being alive and truly living? They sound the same to me...
  • When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? I can't say, but I think our intuition tells us these things.
  • If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? Because we have a dire need to be perfect.
  • What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? I'd be crazier, for sure.
  • When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing? All the time. Dammit, Conservatory.
  • What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love? YES. Hello? The theatre. That's all.
  • In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that? I might. We received some pretty scary news this Thanksgiving, but it made our family into an ever tighter, redhead knot than before.
  • Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you? I am making them for myself, dammit.
