HC: If you were a crayon, what colour would you be and why?
Green. I’m not sure why … but green is my favourite colour. I just tend to think of a fresh-cut-grass kind of feeling. It just kind of is a new spin on something old.
HC: What would your name be if you were a superhero?
Captain Kickass. Can you censor that out, or is it cool?
HC: Who is your favourite villain?
Ursula [from The Little Mermaid]. She is so badass and evil. She just encaptures everything a villain should be, what a villain is. She definitely has a skill in being a villain.
HC: Movies in the theatre or at home? Why?
I would have to go movies in the theatre. I worked in a theatre for eight years; I managed one. There is just something about being in a theatre and the environment and everybody just hyping up to be the first ones to see a new film and just that intense feeling. The sound and the smell of the popcorn … It creates an experience, I think, and I love that experience about going to a theatre and seeing a movie with a bunch of random strangers.
HC: Your favourite spread and why?
I think it’s a cross between cream cheese and hummus.
HC: But not together, right?
No, no not together … I don’t like something plain; I like something different. Even if it’s cream cheese or hummus, it can’t just be normal cream cheese and normal hummus; it has to be, like, flavoured [or] interesting.
HC: Toques or Snapbacks? Why?
Toques. I’m a toque person. I love beanies — I wear them all the time. I was gonna wear one today, but I was told I was going to have my picture taken, so I had to look a little presentable. I guess it’s kind of weird to wear toques in the summer time. I just like the way it fits and feels on my head, and you can just throw it on, on a bad/creepy hair day. Ya know, just shove it all in the toque. Toques for sure.
HC: Use one word to describe your laugh.
Uh, that’s an odd one. What’s the word for like … not contagious … I don’t think there’s a word for that … I can laugh and laugh at the most ridiculous thing, but everyone will just give me weird looks. I sweat from laughter sometimes, from laughing too hard. Sweaty! If I could give one word, it would be sweaty.
HC: Favourite song to sing in the shower?
This is embarrassing. Right now, to be completely honest, I’d have to say it’s “Timber” by Ke$ha and Pitbull.
HC: If Netflix had a counter for how many minutes you spend on a show, what would be your number one most watched?
Orange is the New Black. For sure. My idols are Crazy Eyes and Taystee.
HC: Do you have a special talent?
When I cook, I always just throw weird things into a pot, and it always turns out okay. I think the worst thing I ever made was this cream of mushroom with chickpeas and leftover turkey sausage, and it was gross looking, but it tasted pretty good. So if that counts as a special talent…
