Vanessa, what would you do if you were invisible for a day? “If I was invisible for a day, I would try to sneak on the set of Game of Thrones and I would watch the cast and follow them around all day, trying to find out spoilers.”

Would you rather live a week in the past or future? I would rather live a week in the future but it would have to be a future time I would not be alive because I don’t have the discipline to not alter the space time continuum.

  If you could have dinner with anyone from history, who would it be? Jesus

If you could be a cartoon character for a week, who would you be? An extra on The Proud Family

What’s the most courageous thing you’ve ever done? I think I try to accomplish small acts of courage everyday. There are many things that scare me in life so I try to be brave in those situations.
