When did you last lie in?

I was so nervous and anxious all the way through filming the Netflix show [Tidying Up With Marie Kondo] that I never slept in. The day after filming ended, I slept like a baby for hours.

Does the supernatural exist?

I believe that there is a higher power. There are times when things occur that cannot be readily explained by things we can see with our own eyes.

Are you fatalistic?

I believe in fate, but I also believe it’s possible to grow closer to our desired future by changing what we do. I recommend beginning by tidying your home. Clearing physical clutter can have a profound effect on mental clutter. Tidying reveals your values, and I believe it is the best way to understand your presence on this Earth.

What is your greatest fear?

My greatest fear is whether or not we can leave a healthy environment for the children of the future.

Animals or babies?

Babies. I have two daughters and cannot express in words how cute and sweet they are to me.

What talent do you yearn for?

I would like to be someone that’s well balanced. When I focus too much on my work, I tend to lose sight of what’s around me. This causes me to forget and neglect things occasionally, so I’d like to be a little more balanced in my approach to life.

Do you like to be complimented?

Yes, I do.

Do you have a high pain threshold?

I don’t have a high pain tolerance.

What book do you recommend most to others?

Big Magic, a book about creative living by Elizabeth Gilbert [the author of Eat , Pray, Love].
