If you were a crayon, what colour would you be and why?
Sunset Peach, it gives a nice [impression] of the person I am.
Do you have any special talents?
I have a really good Robert De Niro face, and I can do a pretty good Christopher Walken impression, or at least the cowbell one.
Use one word to describe your laugh.
Hiccup.
Favourite emoji and why?
The smiley emoji with the hands! Like Jazz hands! I feel like it represents me at like a soulful level.
Candy or chocolate? Why?
Candy, because it’s fruity and it’s sour and it’s better than sweet.
Are you a dog or a cat person?
Indecisive; I don’t have an answer to that! I love dogs, but I feel like they are too active for me. I’ve never had a cat, but I feel like we’d get along.
Celebrity crush?
Paul Rudd. I have a crush on him like one would have a crush on a friend’s dad. I’d never want to date him, but I have the biggest crush on him and his dance moves.
If they were to make a movie of your life, what celebrity would play you?
Mamma Mia version of Meryl Streep.
What is something you are really bad at?
Aim. I have terrible aim. I was at a barbeque and we were eating watermelon, and we were told we could just throw the watermelon into the yard somewhere. So I went to flick it, and I hit a girl across the yard in the head! They blamed it on the guy beside me, too! And this summer, multiple times, when I played frisbee I kept hitting people in the head.
Who’s your biggest influence?
My mom. I admire her so much; I want to be like her when I grow up. She’s a cool lady.
Dream job as a child?
When I was in Kindergarten, I wanted to be a grocery store cashier. I did actually work at a grocery store; it wasn’t great (laughs).
If you HAD to change your name to one of what you consider to be the opposite gender what would you change it to?
Oscar.
If you had to give one piece of advice to a large group of people what would you say?
Being weird is fun; if you get a few sideways glances, that’s hilarious. Don’t be too weird, though; be fun weird!
