FIRST REAL JOB: I was an ice cream scooper at Swensen's Ice Cream Parlor in Washington, D.C. Great workout for the arms. I didn't know how to work the cash register and subsequently quit/got fired. My boss was an 18-year-old dick.

I STILL GET NERVOUS WHEN: A wild animal is about to attack me, or if I have to make a toast at a party.

STANDARD BREAKFAST: Ten eggs over medium, a loaf of bread, and half a grapefruit.

FITNESS REGIMEN: I don't give it much thought.

IF I WERE VEEP, MY SECRET SERVICE CODE NAME WOULD BE: You Darling Girl.

MY ASSISTANT WOULD DESCRIBE ME AS: A horrible, horrible bitch. No offense to myself.

ON MY DAY OFF, I: Huh? What does this mean?

AFTERNOON PICK-ME-UP: A nap, and the other half of the grapefruit.
