  4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
    Absolutely. Granted, I’m weird and would really go for the facade, where even when they find out my stage name is fake, they can’t find my birth name.

  5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
    Patrick Stewart. Someone who is known on site. Loved by the SF community, but has the power and backing to do projects like Jeffrey without people batting an eye.
