what is my passion?

• crazy creativity, mixed with risk, complete absorption and abandonment: the art of Marc Chagall, works of Balanchine, the musical stylings of Jason Mraz. His complete absorption in the moment allows him to go from an upbeat song (like Curbside Prophet) to introspective and slow (like Hey Love) the next moment. Another person who gets completely absorbed without regard for what others may think: Jamie Oliver. Maybe it's an unconscious disregard of self-consciousness. The opposite of self-consciousness, but a genuine quality of self and self expression.


• expressions of a child: I never get tired of watching my cousin, TaeHyun, and the joy she finds in simple things and her childlike responses.


• compassion: watching someone else help another. Working for Oprah, like I've always said, would be such a great job - you'd have the excitement of meeting celebrities, along with the charity work that she does to keep you inspired, to help "feed the soul".


• good food: chocolate covered macademia nuts, yum.
