"Do you have any favorite charities or organizations that you support?"

Answer-- You bet. The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, which is the official recipient of the fan club contributions, is the largest sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals in the country. They provide whatever kind of care the animals need, and find good homes for many of them. The ones who are too old or sick or have suffered too much trauma, find a permanent home at the sanctuary. Their goal is to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets-- which I think is such a cool mission. I'm hoping that someday I'll get a chance to go visit the ranch and pitch in a bit myself. (I also love Greenpeace, and the funky hippie Quaker school that I went to.)

"Why did you cut your hair? I love that curly hair!"

Answer-- Well, actually, I didn't. At least not recently. Aphrodite's locks are indeed a big old monster of a wig, and it is a testament to the brilliance of the make-up team that you couldn't tell! Underneath all that hair is whatever I've got at the time. At the moment it happens to be a darkish blond that reaches below my shoulders-- but it has also been red, brown, platinum, and very very short. What can I say-- a woman's prerogative to change her mind?
