When I was a little one, it was my dream to be an actress. Back then, those were the people you looked up to, other than your parents. I might have been a bit more sheltered, but I don’t recall as much drama going on back then, compared to now. The life of a celebrity is completely public, there are no secrets and you are always supposed to be on your best behavior. When you slip up, in the slightest, that is when you are called out and the world judges you. If you ask me, that is a lot of pressure.
Of course there are also those amazing times, like when you are nominated for an award and win, that make up for everything. I believe the pinnacle moment, in an actor’s life, that ah ha moment, when you’ve recognized that you’ve made it is when James Lipton invites you to be a guest on Inside the Actor’s Studio. I love James Lipton and The New School. When I close my eyes and imagine myself as an actress, I think of me up there on stage in an elegant peplum romper, legs crossed, gazing into Mr. Lipton’s eyes, answering these questions…
1. What is your favorite word? Yes!
2. What is your least favorite word? N word (can’t even spell it here I dislike it so much)
3. What turns you on? Not in that way (I’d be blushing), but the effects of prayer. Praying and seeing the results is awesome!
4. What turns you off? Hate
5. What sound or noise do you love? I love speech impediments, weird I know, but they are so unique and special to me. When I hear a bad stutter it melts my heart. I wish I could explain it because I know how odd this sounds.
6. What sound or noise do you hate? I do hate when people smack when they eat, but even more than that the sound of disappointment, ughh it ruins me.
7. What is your favorite curse word? I don’t curse a lot, but if I had to pick one it would be Fuckery. Haha, I heard it on Love and Hip-hop and have loved it ever sense. It basically means nonsense, straight crap.
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? In reality it would be actress (if I wasn’t already one), but hmm President would be too much for me, I like to be liked, but maybe a Top Chef! Your job solely relies on your creativity and good taste. I love good food!
9. What profession would you not like to do? I would absolutely hate to be a window washer for the skyscrapers in Chicago. I don’t know how they do it, but there are such things as sky scraper spiders. They are huge and these window washers not only have to battle these bad boys, but also the heights.
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? When I go to heaven, I would love to hear, “come here Jasmine, give me a hug, I am so proud of you”.
A girl can dream can’t she?
