- While she enjoys working on different projects and thrives when taking on a challenge, the only time writing doesn't feel like work is when she's spreading the good word of Kim Kardashian.
- She likes taking yearly trips to the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, so she can pay a visit to the set of Central Perk in "Friends," which she wholeheartedly believes is her second home.
