Are you hip to the local jazz scene?
"No. I listen to contemporary Hawaiian (and) a little bit of alternative."	"I like jazz, but I'm not really involved in the whole jazz scene."	"Jazz music? No, not really. (I like) hip-hop, R&B ... alternative, depending on my mood."
What is your favorite type of footwear?
"Slippers, I guess, is my favorite. Whatever fits."	"These Reefs are my favorite. They're comfortable ... I'm a sandal and slipper person."	"Roxy slippers! They're fashionable and they're not like rubber slippers. I hate shoes."
Could you make a better movie than Hollywood filmmakers?
"No, I think they're pretty good right now. I'm not really that creative to begin with."	"I don't really think so. If I had to make a movie, it would be about my life experience, and I haven't really lived (long) enough."	"I don't think so. I lack money! I like the movies that are playing ... I'm happy with them."
