Who is your favorite performer?
I love Depeche Mode, The Cure, Morrissey, Social Distortion, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Britney Spears.
What are your hobbies/interests?
I love to read self-help books, healthy cooking, going out to eat, karaoke bars, shooting pool, going to concerts and spending quality time with friends and family and my bulldog Billy!
What is your dream car?
I'm really simple... I do love the new Audi A5 though! But a Gremlin or Yugo wil do. ;p
Who is your hero/role model?
Jesus Christ
What do you do to keep in shape?
I don't really do much cardio since I'm naturally very thin, so I mostly do weight training exercises at the gym for strengthening and toning. I also try to eat very healthy (at least at home) although I don't obsess over it.
Name an achievement you’ve made in your life that defied all the odds.
Living on my own is something I thought I could never do. I've always been so co-dependent most of my life and now I'm able to do more for myself. And, of course, landing Deal or No Deal is something I never thought would happen. Working on that show has been such an amazing experience for me... like a dream come true. :)
What do you look for in a guy?
A gentleman who opens doors, makes me feel safe, is faithful, honest, patient, naturally cool, affectionate, loves dogs, says "bless you" when I sneeze, has good hygiene, gets my sense of humor, appreciates my music, doesn't have a huge track record, can handle my job and believes in God. And he has to love to tickle and rub my feet and think I'm the most beautiful girl in his eyes. ;)
What do you hate in a guy?
I hate men who cheat and can't control their liquor... be a man! I also can't stand when guys feel the need to brag in order to feel accepted.
Is there a difference between a guy you’d marry and a guy you’d only date?
Definitely! A guy I'd date wouldn't necessarily have to have all the qualities I look for in the "perfect man." I don't see a problem with dating Mr. Wrong(s) before finding Mr Right.
What’s the first thing you’d buy if you won the lottery?
I'd buy my parents a house and pay off my debts!
What’s something that nobody would guess about you just by looking at you?
Probably my nationality... which is Hungarian, Japanese and German.
Give me some words to live by.
Live, laugh, love :)
