1) What’s been the highlight of your career so far?

The highlight of my career is simply that  - "MY CAREER"! I am blessed with every aspect of it, endless creativity, endless diversity, endless levels of stress and peace and endless travel and all the amazing people I have met along the way!

2) What’s been your lowest point of your career?

The lowest point in my career is when I'm not actually working and also as I'm getting older my aches and pains hinder my performance.

3) What is your personal definition of success?

My personal definition of success is that no matter with whom I have worked, that I have left them with a feeling of positivity, joy and self worth.

4) What/Who inspires you? And why?

Nature and animals inspire me. With their true honesty, the raw beauty animals and nature create and the instinct to survive with simple truth, humans would learn a lot by being still and observing nature's power. We would feel less isolated and more creative.

5) What is your best movie of all time?

Best movie is a tough one. There are so many! But, Bedknobs and Broomsticks sends a life long message that I love.

9) Where do you see yourself five years from now?

The owner of a cozy beach house on the coast in a small Spanish town.
