shots?)
Q. What is your favourite song to get down and funky to?

original Chicago cast album. I don't like the new one.
Q. You play so many roles in the Sorceress, actor, choreographer,
music director. What is your favourite?
A. Playing somebody like Ruby. Acting is new to
me. I help out with music and I make people move around and they all get
mad at me.

opportunity to change something about herself. What would you choose?
A. My boobs - like Ruby.
Q. What underwater sea creature would you be?

perform on?
A. I'd actually prefer to own one. I'd like to
buy the Ford Centre (in Toronto).
Q. If someone stopped you on the street and made you gasp, who would it
be?
A. Can't say. Initials are B.C., and it's not
Bill Clinton.
Q. Ruby, your character In The Sorceress, tries to seduce
Jake. Who would you like to seduce?
A. Joseph Feinnes. Oh, and I'd be good at
seducing Niles in Frasier.

prefer sequence.

my life.

A. I dunno. She's supposed to be into him in
the end.
Q. What do you think happened to Ruby's parents?
A. They are uneducated hicks that sent her to live
with her Aunt Shirley to learn a trade.
Q. Tied up, or tying someone up?
A. Tied together... a nice bland answer. I just
thought about my mother reading this.
Q. What do you wear to bed?

sheets. Sometimes a tank top. Always socks. And I sleep with a
family of teddy and polar bears.
