Money, fame or happiness, you can only have one... what would you rather have and why?
If you asked me this question two years ago, I would have said fame, hands down. I've always wanted to make history through my writing. I used to dream of being in the glossary of a journalism textbook.
Money was never a motivator for me. I have been financially self-sufficient since high school. I don't need a lot of money. I just want to live comfortably without worrying about making ends meet.
That much said, my answer is happiness. After all, what's fame when I'm dead and gone if I've lived an unhappy life? Now that I've seen what it's like to be in love Some things have changed how I see the world, how I see my life. My job makes me happy, the people around me make me happy, and famous or not, that's what's important.

What is your weapon of choice?
I've never been an advocate of weapons. In fight situations, I prefer to use martial arts, tae kwon do specifically.
My mind is my greatest weapon. In most situations, I can think my way out of trouble. I can talk my way into or out of anything, if I'm smart about it. A sharp wit is a far greater tool than even martial arts, or any weapon I can think of.
There is no greater feeling than outsmarting someone.

What makes you jealous and how do you deal with it?
I can't stand to be upstaged.
For instance, I call the shots at the Planet. When Clark first started working there, I was jealous as can be. Perry took a liking to him right away; he started getting stories that I had to work years to get. I am embarrassed to admit that I did something dirty and underhanded. I set Clark up and scooped him of a Superman exclusive.
It's not something I'm proud of, and I felt really rotten afterwards, but it sure felt good at the time.

What would your dream occupation be?
To be honest with you, I have it.
I've dreamed of being a star investigative reporter for the Daily Planet since as long as I can remember.
Well, if you must know... I guess it wouldn't hurt to eventually become the Editor-in-Chief.
